Handmade Czech Aventurine Glass Bead Caterpillar Olive 25x10mm

These oilve caterpillar lampwork glass beads are handmade in the Czech Republic. They are worked over a flame which is supplied by natural gas to generate the heat required to melt the glass. The process in which they are made is the same today as it was hundreds of years ago. The beads
are decorated by “painting” trails and balls of molten glass from smaller canes to
create unique pieces of art using gold stone (aventurine, which is a
glass paste composed of copper powder) which gives a
shimmering or inner sparkle appearance to the beads.
