20 Preciosa Czech Glass 10mm Faceted Light Topaz Gold Ends Cathedral Beads

20 Preciosa Czech Fire Polished Glass 10mm Faceted Cathedral Beads with 1mm Drill Hole. These beautiful antique style Czech Cathedral Beads from Preciosa Ornela appear to have built in textured bead caps. Crafted from superior quality Czech glass, these beads are molded into their desired shape and then coated in a color, usually silver or gold, but sometimes other hues and sometimes without. The bead is then faceted and fire polished around the center, leaving the ends coated in color to create a stunning glass treasure! Some cathedral beads are not dipped in color, but still display the attractive texturing on the ends. Cathedral beads are perfect for adding a tasteful vintage feel to your jewelry designs. Cathedral beads also are quite popular in rosary designs. Czech beads are renowned for their excellent craftsmanship with vividly colored glass that resists fading and is consistent throughout the line. Czech beads are available in a wide variety of shapes and colors with stunning finishes, such as Aurora Borealis -- a striking play of color inspired by the Northern Lights Aurora Borealis Finish Beads are beads that have an added iridescent coating. The coating is used on beads and rhinestones and produces a multi color light reflection. The Aurora borealis means "northern lights". The iridescent surface occurs when a very thin layer of metallic atoms are deposited on the lower surface of the stone. The process was invented by the Swarovski Co Christian Dior in 195
