Using Czech beads for your bracelets, necklaces and rings is a dazzling yet refined way to salute centuries of jewelry craftsmanship. Czech glass beads date back to ancient times and were used as both ornamentation and currency. While they’re now made using machines, the fine design, rich color and versatility remain.

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads has a massive collection of Preciosa Czech glass beads for projects of all sizes. These pressed glass Czech beads are made by forcing heated glass into a mold. Some beads are also fire-polished, which uses heat after forming to give them an ultra-smooth feel. Preciosa has been making Bohemian beads for nearly 500 years, and we’re proud to carry the world’s foremost glass jewelry beads at great prices.
