Bead, Czech dipped décor glass 1pkg50, opaque hot pink Apollo AB, 8mm round cathedral.

Radiant jewel tones with AB finish and metallic Apollo silver "end caps" for captivating color and eye-catching sparkle. Each quality Czech bead is made by pressing into a steel mold and coating with color, Apollo silver compound and AB finish, then grinding and polishing every facet for the glistening warmth and inner glow cathedral beads are known for.

The makers of cathedral glass beads find it more complicated to develop new colors in cathedral glass beads than in any other type of glass bead. The end-cap color must be applied to the bead first, then the facets are cut. After the cutting, the beads must be carefully polished by fire a second time. Only the highest quality control and artistry ensures that the end colors are not burned by the additional firing.

Apollo silver is the trade name for the luminous, silver-colored layer that is steam applied for maximum radiance and color brilliance.

Size and shape may vary slightly and color may vary from dye lot to dye lot.
