Whether you are creating delicate everyday pieces or intricate statement designs, these glass crystal beads offer the clarity and light-refraction necessary to bring your vision to life.
Technical Overview**
Crafted from high-grade glass crystal, these beads feature a meticulous 32-facet "soccer ball" cut. This geometric precision ensures that each bead captures and reflects light from every angle, mimicking the deep luster of faceted spinel glass.

Care and Maintenance**
To preserve the brilliant finish of your glass crystal beads, avoid contact with harsh household chemicals, perfumes, or abrasive surfaces. When cleaning finished jewelry, use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water. Store strands in a dedicated jewelry pouch to prevent the faceted edges from scratching against harder materials.
