Margarita Beads | Peruvian Hand Painted Ceramic Beads From Peru

Among the largest beads in this series at 0.787 by 0.787 inches, it gives the painter room for the whole scene — wide-brimmed glass, salted rim, pale green drink, and a wedge of lime perched at the edge. The dotted salt crystals are the kind of detail you only notice up close, and the scale makes it a true focal bead rather than a filler.

Its wide 2mm hole copes with thick cord, ribbon, and heavy-gauge wire, so it can anchor a statement necklace, headline a fiesta charm bracelet, or finish a wine-glass marker for the friend who hosts taco night every week without fail.

Salud to the unknown inventor, whoever they were; this bead raises a tiny glass on their behalf.
