Jewelry-making ideas
Use smaller sizes in delicate beadwork or as sparkling spacers, and larger sizes in bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Combine sizes for texture or pair the aqua and rainbow reflections with clear glass and silver-tone findings.
Czech glassmaking heritage
Made in Northern Bohemia, these beads continue a Czech glassmaking tradition dating back to the 14th century. Glass is pressed in a mold, precisely machine-faceted and polished in direct fire. This creates brilliant, slightly rounded facets with a softer appearance than sharply cut crystals. These cost-effective, scratch-resistant glass beads suit modern and vintage-inspired jewelry.
Small production batches can vary slightly in size and shape. Glass shades may differ between batches, and larger sizes can appear darker because of the volume of material.
