MACHINE CUT CRYSTAL BEADS
Machine cut / machine polished crystal beads represent the top category of glass beads. Their production, which is very close to the production of rhinestones, is very demanding, requiring most sophisticated machinery and absolutely precise hand work. The result is worth the painstaking manufacture. The facets are perfectly defined and have crisp edges. This makes the beads really glittering and sparkling!
Our inventory includes two most demanded shapes, i.e.
| standard bicones # 451 69301 | (available sizes: | 3/3 mm 4/4 mm 5/5 mm 6/6 mm) |
| and short bicones # 451 69302 | (available sizes: | 3/2.5 mm 4/3.5 mm 5/4.5 mm 6/5.5 mm). |
The selection of colors and finishes is quite wide. Nevertheless, the half coating of aurea borealis (AB) is far the most popular finish used.
Machine cut beads are sold in packages of 10 gross, following the practice generally accepted in other machine cut crystals such as rhinestones. Hobby packs are presently not available.
All sizes of machine cut beads in clear crystal are almost always in stock, other colors are mostly made to order. Please inquire to learn delivery times.
