This bead was inspired by some pottery I found in a store in Japantown in San Francisco. It is a transparent amber, with a layer of matte gold which creates a texture to the surface. The flowers are raised slightly from the surface, making a bead that is delightful to touch. Each bead is a little different, but all are beautiful. It measures 25mm wide and 13mm deep. The hole size is 2.5mm.
