4mm Opaque Navy Blue Faceted Czech Glass Beads

Description

4mm Opaque Navy Blue Faceted Czech Glass Beads are perfect for stringing or beadweaving. Made by Preciosa in the Czech Republic. They are of excellent quality and uniform in size and shape.

Faceted glass beads are also known as fire-polished. The facets in the beads are cut by machine and are angular with sharp definition. The beads are then placed into a kiln to allow the facets to melt slightly. The slight melting gives the beads a rounded, shiny appearance, which is where the name comes from. Strung on a temporary string for display. Each string contains 100 beads.

4mm beads are our most popular size and work well in jewellery. Ideal for beaded bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Make simple bracelets by stringing on elastic or use with thinner threads for bead weaving. Approximately 0.8mm hole. If you are using these beads on tiaras we would recommend 0.4mm or 0.6mm wire to allow room for twisting the wire. These 4mm opaque navy blue faceted Czech glass beads are a deep royal blue.
