Czech fire-polished beads siam ruby 12mm (6)

These fire-polished beads, imported from the Czech Republic, are machine faceted, then glazed in a red-hot oven to achieve the polished finished. They have a 'softer' look and smoother feel than the machine-polished Austrian crystal (they are also considerably lower in price!). Experiment and combine with TOHO seed beads in your beading projects.
