10mm Capped Bicone (10) - Dark Brown Opaque Picasso - Vintage Czech Glass Beads

Often seen in vintage bead collections, you will love adding these to your bead box.

Czech capped bicone beads are a specific, often vintage or artisanal variety of pressed glass beads produced in the Czech Republic, known for their distinctive "capped" appearance, where the tapered ends of the bicone are accentuated with metallic or contrasting colors.   This style however is a picasso style of colour.  These are popular for bohemian-style jewelry, statement pieces, and as focal beads in necklaces and bracelets.

The picasso way of finishing a bead gives a speckled spotty effect, a really earthy look whilst the lustre enhances the coating, making this effect a really interesting bead to use - no two beads will ever be identical!

These beads originate from Czechoslovakia in the 1970s.  They have a gloss finish and will give any project you use them on a definite touch of class!  The classic shape will look great on a necklace, bracelet or on earrings, being small enough to team up with another bead separating them.  Using a small bead to separate the main 'star' of the show, allows each & every bead to really shine - you'll be surprised at the difference your necklace will show if you use this method!

Measurements:  10mm with a 0.8mm threading hole

Quantity per pack:  10

These beads are from our famous bead haul years ago when we did a warehouse clearance from one of the original bead importers in the bead business in Australia. You may or may not come across this style elsewhere, but not very often!  They are truly unique.
