Czech Fire-Polished Round Beads Opaque Blood Red 4mm

Used in costume jewelery for practically always, Czech Fire-Polished Beads are glass beads produced in Bohemia (Czech Republic) according to the traditional hot polishing technique (or Fire Polished): the faceting, performed by machine , is subsequently softened - slightly rounded - by placing the beads in contact with an open flame. It is precisely this process, aimed at softening the edges of the facet, which polishes the beads and gives the half crystal its typical shine. Unlike crystal, the glass from which half crystal is made does not contain lead. The most famous shape is defined as round and is produced in many different sizes, colors and finishes.
