Gabriella Beads Initial
Warm metal changes everything about mauve: this 18k gold-plated initial bead pairs the dusty purple with golden brass, framing a letter A in the Gabriella Beads manner — enamel painted entirely by hand. Against gold, the shade turns rosier, closer to dried petals than to twilight.
The bead is nickel- and lead-free and threads onto bracelets and necklace chains with ease. Begin a gilded monogram with it, or mix it into a silver-toned stack for a deliberate two-metal look.
