3mm White Opal Faceted Czech Glass Beads

Description

These tiny 3mm white opal faceted glass beads are manufactured in the Czech Republic.

Fire-polished is the term given to faceted glass beads that have been re-fired. The facets in the glass are cut by machine and are very angular with sharp definition. The beads are then placed back into a kiln to allow the facets to melt slightly, which gives them a rounded, shiny appearance, hence the name fire-polished.

White opal is a milky translucent white colour and is part of our faceted glass bead range.
