Glass Beads - Round Cracked Multi Mix - 50g - Approx 120 Pieces

Cracked glass beads are a unique web-like pattern of internal cracks that are visible on their smooth outer surface, created by a 16th-century Venetian technique. To produce this effect, molten hot glass is rapidly cooled by immersing it in cold water, causing it to crack, and then it is reheated to smooth the exterior, sealing the cracks. These durable beads are prized for their captivating, light-reflecting appearance and are popular for jewellery making, home décor, and other crafts.
