20 Czech Glass Butterfly Beads - Amethyst approx 15 mm x 12 mm

Beadmaking in Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic has been a traditional craft for centuries. The area known as Bohemia has given its name to the Bohemian Beads.

Fire polished faceted glass is made when the pressed crystals are reheating until the glass starts to melt so any sharp edges are fused smooth.
