“Colour is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.”
— Claude Monet

Many gardens are famous for their flowers, but Monet’s garden at Giverny was something special. It became a place full of water, reflections, color, and light that was always changing.

Monet returned to his lily pond again and again, but each visit was different. The flowers and seasons changed, and above all, the light was never the same. This made the garden a place he could always find new inspiration.

We are excited to introduce the Monet 2026 Edition by Black Raven Beads.

A New Interpretation of Monet

The 2026 Edition brings a fresh look to our Monet collection, with redesigned sterling silver beads and new handcrafted lampwork glass.

Both the Monet Lily Pond and Monet Water Lily beads are now a bit larger, but still light and comfortable to wear. The Lily Pond Stopper has been fully redesigned and now has decorations all around, so you can enjoy its details from any side.

We’ve updated our glass collection too. The original Monet glass beads are now retired and replaced with new Water Lily Glass beads, each handcrafted by our master lampworker. Every bead shows the layered colors and reflections of Monet’s water garden in its own special way.

And then there is something new.

The XL Water Lily Glass

The Monet Water Lily Glass XL is the newest addition to the collection.

This larger bead is made to stand out and brings together the colors of the water garden in a beautiful piece of handcrafted lampwork glass.

The XL Water Lily Glass is also a special loyalty reward in the Monet Lily Pond Collectors Set 2026 Edition, making the full set a unique way to enjoy the new collection.

A Garden You Can Carry With You

The Monet 2026 Edition is inspired not just by the paintings, but by the way Monet saw the world. He returned to the same pond, the same flowers and the same garden, but remained open to seeing something different each time.

Perhaps there is a lesson in that for all of us.

We may return to the same places and moments in life, but we never experience them in quite the same way twice.

The light has changed. We have changed. And suddenly, we see something we didn't notice before.

The Monet 2026 Edition is our tribute to that way of seeing — handcrafted sterling silver and lampwork glass inspired by water, flowers, colour and light.
