Vintage Picasso Finish - Nugget Shape Beads
Made from a brown base of glass with a picasso coating, 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 nugget shape will look great on a necklace, bracelet or on earrings. Use a small bead to separate the main 'star' of the show - it allows each & every bead to really shine - you'll be surprised at the difference your necklace will show if you use this method!
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! This bead seems to have a beige or white glass base, with the brown speckled finish over the top.
Photo: You will see in one of the photos some of the beads have brown speckles, while others have a turquoise tone speckle as well. You could match these beads up with quite a few colours to really utilise their Picasso effect!
Shape: Nugget - a chunky look for the less classic designs! Smooth on the skin, these would be fabulous on a bracelet (or of course anything else)!
