Beads And Charms

Small & Simple Beads

Pressed glass beads from the Czech Republic. By perfecting quality and consistency glass products have kept generations of Bohemians in work. In stark contrast to Indian production methods vast factories employ up to 1,000 workers. Ten or more substantial glass rods are stamped at high temperatures by heavyweight presses before tumbling to remove any rough edges. This is followed by polishing in very precisely heated ovens. Nothing is left to chance.

These tiny beads are individually hand made in small units around the holy city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges. They are made using kerosene lamps powered by a foot pump. We do our best to ensure high quality and consistency but we rather like the idea that each item is a bit different from the last.

Millefiori is the Italian for a thousand flowers. Millefori cane originates from the Venetian island of Murano and is produced by a very intricate process resulting in something like a very elaborate stick of rock. It is sliced into thin chips which are then pressed onto a background of molten glass. The results are these delightfully delicate pieces.
