Color, History, and Extraordinary Craftsmanship in Our July 2026 Collection

There are palettes that are pretty, and then there are palettes that stop you in your tracks. The Stained Glass Collection—our main Eureka Collection for July 2026—is firmly in the second category. Inspired by the breathtaking stained glass windows of historic buildings, this Collection is built around the kind of color that transforms the light as it hits the surface. Deep, luminous reds, cobalt blues, emerald greens, and topaz golds, set against a backdrop of rich dark brown and antique bronze: it's dramatic, it's historical, and it's unlike anything we've put together before.

The inspiration is the rosetta window: that extraordinary moment when you look up inside an ancient building and are met with an explosion of color so vivid and so precise that it genuinely takes your breath away. We wanted to capture that feeling in this Collection.

"You step over the threshold and the world outside disappears, replaced by cool stone, centuries of history, and the faint sweetness of incense lingering in the air. Your footsteps sound out against the floor and echo off the walls as you move further inside. Then, a beam of light catches your eye, and you look up: an immense window ablaze with color, every piece of glass placed with extraordinary care and intention, glowing as if lit from within—a testament to what craftsmanship and the love for beauty, at their most elevated, can achieve."

Now let's take a look at what's inside!

Seed Beads

The seed bead section of this Collection is built around two custom mixes: one of Miyuki Round 11/0s and one of Miyuki Delica 11/0s, both curated exclusively for the Stained Glass palette. These mixes go perfectly with three individual TOHO products, all in one beautiful frosted bronze color that runs like a warm, unifying thread through the entire Collection.

Included seed beads:

• TOHO Round 15/0 Seed Beads – Frosted Bronze (5g bag)
• TOHO Round 8/0 Seed Beads – Frosted Bronze (2.5" tube)
• TOHO Demi 11/0 Seed Beads – Frosted Bronze (5g bag)
• Miyuki Round 11/0 Seed Beads – Stained Glass Mix (20g bag)
• Miyuki Delica 11/0 Seed Beads – Stained Glass Mix (10g bag)

The three Frosted Bronze TOHOs in three different sizes give you a wonderfully versatile neutral foundation, and the Stained Glass Mixes bring the palette's hero colors directly into the seed bead section.

Czech Glass

The Czech glass section is purposefully focused in this Collection, centering on two two-hole bead shapes that are perfectly suited to creating beaded rosetta-style designs inspired by the inspiration window: GemDuo and DropDuo, both in deep, luminous dark tones that glow with rainbow blue.

Included Czech glass beads:

• FirePolish 3mm Czech Glass Beads – Cobalt (strand of 50)
• FirePolish 3mm Czech Glass Beads – Siam Ruby (strand of 50)
• 2-Hole GemDuo 8x5mm Czech Glass Beads – Jet Blue Iris (8g bag)
• 2-Hole DropDuo Czech Glass Beads 3x6mm – Jet Full Azuro (pack of 50)

The two strands of 3mm FirePolish, one in a vivid Cobalt and one in a deep Siam Ruby, are perfect for adding concentrated pops of color. The 2-hole beads are both great shapes offering multiple beading possibilities.

Crystals

The crystal section of the Stained Glass Collection is exceptional—extensive, varied, and full of genuinely exciting new additions. Front and center are ten Krakovski Crystal stones in the stunning Volcano color: a finish that shifts between gold, red, purple, teal, blue and green depending on the light, making it one of the most perfectly on-theme choices imaginable for a stained glass-inspired Collection. Four of those Volcano stones feature a brand new Solar cut, characterized by additional carvings on the back that produce a striking star-like effect when viewed from the front. Also making their debut in this Collection: Krakovski Crystal textured pearls, a brand new pearl type with a beautifully unusual surface finish.

Included crystals:

• Krakovski Crystal Chaton 8mm – Volcano 1088 (x6)
• Krakovski Crystal Rivoli 12mm – Siam (x2)
• Krakovski Crystal Rivoli 12mm – Capri Blue (x2)
• Krakovski Crystal Solar Octagon Stone 10x14mm – Volcano (x2)
• Krakovski Crystal Solar Round Stone 18mm – Volcano (x2)
• Krakovski Crystal Textured Round Pearls 4.5mm – Champagne (strand of 90)
• Preciosa Crystal Bicone Beads 4mm – Stained Glass Mix (pack of 72)
• Chinese Crystal Rondelle Beads 4.5x6mm – Dark Pine Green (approx. 40pc bag)

The Siam and Capri Blue rivolis bring two of the Collection's hero colors into stone form, and the custom Stained Glass Preciosa bicone mix carries the full palette in a single pack of 72, and the not-quite-opaque Dark Pine Green Chinese crystal rondelles add a rich emerald depth, which is just what the palette needed.

Findings

Every finding in this Collection shares the same antique brass finish, and the selection includes several exceptional pieces from TierraCast, a designer findings brand known for the quality and artistry of their components, which elevate this Collection's findings section well above the ordinary.

Included findings:

• Ear Wire Round w/2mm Ball 25mm – Antique Brass Plated (1 pair)
• Ear Wire Hook w/Loop and Flat Leaf Shaped Front 20mm – Antique Bronze Plated (1 pair)
• TierraCast Link – Oasis Stitch In Antiqued Brass Plated (x2)

Color, Craft, and Endless Creative Potential

The Stained Glass Collection is a love letter to the extraordinary human impulse to make things beautiful—to place color and light together with such intention and skill that the result outlasts centuries. The palette of dark antique bronze and rich brown, lit up by luminous reds, blues, greens, and golds, gives you a creative range that spans bold statement pieces and delicate, detailed beadwork alike. The new Solar cut stones are a genuine revelation, the custom seed bead mixes provide a rich foundation, and the TierraCast findings bring a level of craft and artistry to the findings section that feels completely at home in a Collection inspired by some of the most beautiful human-made objects in existence.
