Cathedral Czech Glass Bead 7mm Trinugget Fuschia Transparent Picasso

These glass cathedral beads from the Czech Republic are the perfect bead if you love pretty vintage style. They are made using centuries-old glass-making traditions. Cathedral glass beads are named after the stained glass windows of churches and were first manufactured in the 1950's. They are pressed and cut, in a way which gives them high light refraction and colour saturation.

DETAIL
The speckled stone finish which "caps" the bead at either end gives it a tribal earthy feel. The finish is known as "picasso".
