Indian Glass Bead Chunky Square 25mm Silverlined Foil Olive | Low Stock

Chunky Indian foil beads are made using very thin metal leaf or foil sheets to create a reflective, multi-dimensional depth inside the translucent or coloured glass.Indian Glass Kiln Beads offer a distinctive aesthetic from simple to intricate, featuring detailed designs on the surafce. During production, as the bead cools, the exterior shrinks while the interior remains hot and expanded, which can cause cracking. To prevent this, beads are annealed in a kiln where the temperature is slowly reduced, making the final product stronger and more resistant to breaking.
Indian glass beads often arrive with a dusty white or grey coating. This material is called "kiln wash" or "slip," which is used to help the bead release from the wire during production. You can easily remove it by rinsing the beads with tepid water or wiping them with a cloth.
