Czech fire-polished 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 machine-polished Austrian crystal. Feel the heat of the nearly limitless combinations of shapes, colors, sizes and finishes to choose from.
Preciosa has been producing these heat polished facet cut beads to meet the highest quality and consistency standards for over 50 years. These shimmering faceted beads sparkle just like leaded crystal, at just a fraction of the price! The fire used to create these sparkling little treasures seems to radiate from within the bead itself.
