Two Large Czech Faceted Fire Polished Beads 20mm, Black Silver “Chrom”, Jewellery Making

These are two large 20mm Czech fire polished beads in a striking black silver finish known as "Chrom". The colour sits somewhere between a deep charcoal black and a cool metallic silver, and the faceting catches the light beautifully, giving each bead a real depth and shine.

At 20mm these are proper statement beads. You could use one as a focal point on a pendant or bracelet, or pair them up for a bold set of drop earrings. They also work really well threaded between smaller beads to add a bit of drama without overpowering the rest of a design.

Because they are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, there may be very slight variations between individual beads, but that is part of what makes them feel special rather than mass-produced. The quality and consistency of Czech fire polished glass is hard to beat, and these are a good example of why.
