Czech glassmaking heritage
Glass bead production in Northern Bohemia dates back to the 14th century. Czech glass is pressed in a mold, precisely faceted by machine and polished in direct fire. Fire polishing softens the facets, tempering the hard lines of machine-cut crystals. Carmen beads receive their pearlized finish on the glass base. These cost-effective faceted beads blend with other jewelry components in modern and vintage-inspired designs.
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 may vary between production lots, and larger beads can appear darker because they contain more glass.
