• Fire polished beads are glass beads that are faceted by machine. The edges and surface are then given a softer, polished look by placing the beads in hot ovens or over open flames. By virtue of this process, fire polished beads are all slightly different from each other; this adds to their charm. Unlike Austrian faceted crystals, fire polished beads contain no lead. It is the heat polishing process that gives them their soft glow and brilliance.
• In Czech fire polished beads, the shape called 'round' is actually more of an oval.
• Color: Metallic Gold Suede
• Measurements: 4mm long, 3.8mm wide. The holes are less than 1mm in diameter.
