These royal blue glass cathedral beads from the Czech Republic are the perfect bead if you want to add a dose of notable style. The North Bohemian region, with its centuries-old glass-making traditions, has become the cradle of machine cutting & polishing. 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 AB finish (a half coating on the surface which adds a prismatic effect) creates extra sparkle.
