Crystal Chrome Half Coated Czech Fire Polished Glass Beads

Combine clear sparkle with reflective metallic accents in these Preciosa Crystal Chrome Czech glass beads. The clear Crystal glass is half coated with Chrome, leaving transparent areas beside the silver-grey finish rather than a fully coated surface. Rounded facets catch the light as the beads turn.

Packaging

Choosing a size for your project

Use 6mm and 8mm beads in repeating bracelet and necklace patterns, 10mm for more prominent accents, and 12mm or 14mm for larger focal details. Their clear-and-metallic contrast coordinates with clear glass, contrasting colors and silver-tone findings in modern or vintage-inspired designs.

Half coated, not fully coated

The Chrome finish covers part of the glass, allowing both clear and metallic areas to remain visible. Bead orientation and lighting change the balance of transparent sparkle and dark or bright reflections.

Czech glassmaking heritage

Made in Northern Bohemia in the Czech Republic, these beads continue a glassmaking tradition dating back to the 14th century. Glass is pressed in a mold, precisely faceted by machine and polished in direct fire. The result is brilliant glass with softer, slightly rounded facets, offering a cost-effective, scratch-resistant option for jewelry making.

Small-batch production can cause slight differences in size and shape. Glass shades vary between production lots, and larger beads may appear darker because they contain more glass. Photos are for reference; monitor settings and browsers affect displayed colors and reflections. The size-comparison guide shows dimensions, not this product's actual color.
