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 for softer, slightly rounded facets that temper the hard lines of machine-cut crystals. Carmen beads receive their pearlized finish after the glass base is formed. These cost-effective beads blend with other components in modern and vintage-inspired jewelry.
The supplier describes these imitation beads as completely lead free and states that production uses ecologically responsible technologies under close supervision of EU environmental authorities.
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.
