Fire Polish
Fire polished faceted beads are an economical alternative to hand-cut faceted glass or crystal. Firepolish beads derive their name from the second half of a two-part process: first, the glass batch is poured into round bead molds, then they are faceted with a grinding wheel. The faceted beads are then poured onto a tray and briefly reheated just long enough to melt the surface, "polishing" out any minor surface irregularities from the mold. |  |  |  |  |
