Fire Polish is a process that starts out with regular looking glass that is then machine faceted, which leaves sharp facet edges. To smooth them out, they are heated in a kiln or oven until the edges soften. The result is a beautiful, faceted, crystal-like bead.
The Czech region of Bohemia has been the center of bead making and has led the glass bead industry for hundreds of years because of its quality fire polished styles. Fire polished beads are one of the most essential components of jewelry making. These popular beads are loved by many for their timeless look and sparkle. Discover exquisitely crafted fire-polish beads in a vast range of sizes, shapes, and colors.
