Round bead - 8 mm - shiny blue (60 pcs)

Round glass bead with a diameter of 8 mm. 60 pcs per pack.

Blown glass beads are traditionally used to make beaded Christmas ornaments. They are significantly lighter than regular glass beads. TIP: You can also buy our beads uncut (squares, squares, etc.). By using connected beads, you can create complicated ornaments that will hold their shape, e.g. sharp points on stars. We also offer whole rods (so-called "klaučata"), which you can cut to the required length with a beading knife.

CAUTION!!! When working with pearls, be careful of the sharp edges of the pearl necks. Pearls are not suitable for preschool children because of the risk of inhalation or swallowing.

The production of blown beads and glass bead ornaments is a traditional craft of the Czech Republic. All beads were made by hand and are silver-plated on the inside with real silver.

The pearl craft has a deep tradition in Poniklá in the Krkonoše Mountains and has been a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage since 2020.
