Czech Glass Beads

Czech glass beads are formed by pressing hot glass into a shaped mold. Fire polished beads are first pressed into a mold, but then are taken through a machine to have a more scratch resistant covering applied to them, as well as smoothing out any rough spots or seams within the bead. The fire polishing technique gives a much more lustrous finish to the bead and gives it more slightly rounded facets. Many different colors and varying finishes are available.
