  • Includes FIVE  (15") Clear strands, approximately 50 beads per strand, for a total of 250.
  • Delicious crackle glass beads.
  • The Venetian glass makers of the 16th century invented the marvelous process of the 'crackle' heating and cooling technique, creating a multitude of reflective surfaces, so every movement displays sparkling new radiance.
  • The glass is immersed in cold water while it is molten hot, thereby cracking the glass.
  • The glass is then reheated and either molded or hand-blown into the shape the glass blower desires.
  • The reheating and coating of the glass seals the cracks.
  • If you run your fingers over the crackle beads, they feel smooth to the touch.
  • They are bright and lively, in this year's most luscious colors. 
  • *Please consider the actual sizes given in the listing as the pictures are generally enlarged to show detail.
