Fire polished beads are glass beads that are machine made, usually cut to many facets, and then polished over an open fire. This process creates imperfections, which are a part of their charm. The polishing process gives them brilliance as more light is reflected off the glass. Czech beads are high quality beads that will not lose their color over time. The Czech beads in this earring come from the Czech Republic where the craft began. Fire polished beads contain no lead and will give your jewelry a softer and less sharp appearance.
