Fire Polish Glass Beads - Round |
|
Our Fire Polish Round Beads are all manufactured in the Czech Republic. Sizes range from 3mm-8mm. Beads may come packaged either on strings, or loose (in a bag), depending on what stock is available. The number of beads in the package may show a small range, as most beads are counted by machine at the factory (usually, you will get the larger of the two numbers shown). Upon updating the website, we separated some items that were previously categorized together. If you were looking for Fire Polished Teardrop Beads, Glass Rondelle or Saucer Beads , or other Glass Bead Shapes they are located on their own pages. |
