Jewelry-making ideas
Use these faceted round beads in strung bracelets and necklaces, as accents in earrings, or as spacers around focal beads. Combine different sizes for graduated designs or keep one size throughout for a coordinated look.
Czech glassmaking tradition
These Czech glass beads combine machine faceting with fire polishing, a traditional finishing technique that softens the facets while preserving their light-catching character.
Color and size notes
Small-batch production can result in slight variations in bead size and shape. Glass shades and coatings may vary between production lots, and larger beads can appear darker because of the greater volume of glass. Screen settings and browsers can also affect how colors appear. Bead counts are approximate.
