Czech glass beads are famous for their high quality, color stability and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. They are also known for their incredible variation in shape, size, color, structure and surface finish. When talking about this glass beads, some people may still think they are produced in Czech Republic. Yes, this kind of beads was produced in Czech Republic at beginning. While today, many countries can offer high quality Czech glass beads. In most countries Czech beads have been sold for decades through a network of local distributors and wholesale dealers.

Czech glass beads, sometimes called Czech pressed glass, can be round in almost any size and shape conceivable. Instead of being warmed and fashioned manually, the glass is warmed up and forced into molds. And in fact, this kind of glass beads can also be sorted as different types, including Druk beads and Czech seed beads. Druk beads are perfectly round beads in every size and color made of pressed glass and available in many different finishes. The word “druk” means simple, basic and sleek in Czech. These beads are sized from 3mm to 18mm with a 1mm thread hole. They are utilized in a wide array of crafts. Czech seed beads are tiny, simple glass beads that are formed glass tubes, sliced to size, after that, they are warmed until smooth. Would like to remind that seed beads are sized by number, not millimeters, for example, 6/0, 11/0 etc. The smaller the number, the larger the beads. You will find them in sizes 6-15, and size 11 is a good all purpose size.
