Packaging
The original options describe one 16-inch strand. Depending on inventory, beads may arrive on strands or loose in a poly bag. Your selected option determines the bead size and package quantity.
Choosing a size for your design
Use 3mm for tiny accents and detailed beadwork, 4mm for delicate repeating patterns, or 6mm for more visible bracelet and necklace designs. Pair the dark blue glass and colorful Vitrail reflections with clear beads, seed beads or metal findings. Vitrail names the coating, not a separate bead material.
Czech glassmaking heritage
Glass bead production in Northern Bohemia dates back to the 14th century. Glass is pressed in a mold, precisely faceted by machine and polished in direct fire. This produces brilliant, scratch-resistant beads with softer, slightly rounded facets that temper the sharp lines of machine-cut crystals. These cost-effective beads blend readily with other jewelry components in modern and vintage-inspired designs.
Small-batch production can cause slight variations 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. The generic sizing guide shows dimensions, not this product's actual color.
