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 creates brilliant, softer, slightly rounded facets that temper the sharp look of machine-cut crystals. These cost-effective, scratch-resistant 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.
