Firepolished Drop Beads N. 40 (20x9mm)

Green hues meet a luxurious metallic finish in these sophisticated Firepolished Drop Beads, masterfully hand-pressed in the heart of the Czech Republic. The Rutkovsky family continues a centuries-old tradition, utilizing specialized molds to create the iconic teardrop silhouette that characterizes these handmade Czech glass components. Each bead features a faceted surface that has been fire-polished to achieve a high-gloss luster, ensuring light dances across the translucent green glass.

Traditional glassmaking heritage is evident in the precise application of the bronze-gold metallic cap, which adds a vintage aesthetic to the vibrant lime-green base. This specific color combination, identified by code 51010/14415, offers a rich contrast that is perfect for statement jewelry designs. The glass itself is high-quality Czech glass, known for its depth of color and durability compared to mass-produced alternatives.

Jewelry makers can utilize these 20 x 9 mm beads as striking focal points in earring designs or as elegant dangles on a statement necklace. Their elongated shape and faceted edges pair beautifully with Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 11/0, allowing for intricate beadweaving or simple wire-wrapping. Because these are fire polished beads, the edges are softer and more comfortable against the skin than raw machine-cut crystals, while still providing exceptional brilliance.

Working with these Czech glass drops allows for creative exploration in bohemian and nature-inspired themes. The 0.8 mm hole size accommodates various stringing materials, making them versatile for both modern and classic jewelry techniques. Whether you are designing for a seasonal collection or crafting a one-of-a-kind gift, the unique combination of Rutkovsky craftsmanship and timeless teardrop design provides a professional finish to any artisan project.
