Comments: |
These are Preciosa cut crystal beads, not fire-polished beads. These beads are the Czech equivalent of Swarovski beads. The facets of these beads are much more perfect than you will find on fire-polished beads. The word "vitrail" means "stained-glass window" in French. The Czech manufacturers use that word for clear faceted beads that have a streak of metal on part of each bead (the metal can come in different colors). However, that word isn't used for AB beads. |
