Updated May 31, 2010:  Our semi-annual visit to the Czech Republic gave us the opportunity to bring back loads of beads to show you in a gorgeous array of new colors and shapes, organized on the pages below by color! 22 new styles/colors just posted -- some really unique stuff here!

Shimmering and lustrous, Czech fire-polished loose glass beads are offered here for your own jewelry designs!  These are first-quality beads (no seconds). 

In addition to my own glass work, I'm an importer of first-quality Czech art glass (grape clusters) and beads, which I purchase directly at the factories and studios of Bohemia, the glass capital of the Czech Republic.  My costs are lower because I bring the items with me through U.S. customs as part of my duty-free allowance, thereby avoiding expensive shipping costs from Europe to the U.S.  As a result, I can price these items lower than others who have to include the international shipping costs and customs duties in their overhead.  Compare my prices to the big-name national jewelry supply houses, and I believe you'll like what you see here!
