Faceted fire-polished glass beads from the Czech Republic are a staple bead item for every beader's bead box. These beads are machine faceted, then polished by glazing inside a red-hot oven. This gives them beautiful, glistening colors with a "softer" look and a smoother feel at a considerably lower price than the machine- polished Austrian crystal. Slight imperfections are to be expected and add to the allure of these much sought after beads.
