Most Czech glass beads are first pressed into shape from molten glass rods with a metal press. Years ago this process was all done by hand &, though there are automations now, much of the bead making art is still very much a cottage Industry in the Czech Republic. Many of the Czech bead factories are family owned and operated. From start to finish a pressed glass bead can take 6-9 weeks before production is complete, depending on how many steps go into the design of the bead. Czech glass beads are made of a base glass & sometimes glass finishes are applied to the base glass with furnaces or other methods. There can also be facetting, table cutting or fire polishing processes that take place as well. * Glass pricing depends on the raw materials (the elements/chemicals) needed to produce a particular color of glass and/or finishes.
