Cabochon Beads N. 1483 23980-90215 (JET GOLD BRONZE)

Dark metallic tones meet traditional craftsmanship in these stunning handmade glass components. The Northern Bohemian region of the Czech Republic is home to the Rutkovsky family, who have perfected the art of hand-pressing glass over generations. Each piece reflects a rich heritage of glassmaking, ensuring that your jewelry designs feature authentic artisan quality that cannot be replicated by mass-produced alternatives.

Rich iridescent finishes provide a captivating play of light across the smooth, domed surface of these Cabochon Beads. The Jet Gold Bronze coating creates a mysterious depth, shifting between deep black, warm bronze, and subtle oil-slick reflections as the wearer moves. These 10 mm elements are specifically designed for those who appreciate the tactile beauty of handmade Czech glass and want to incorporate a sense of old-world luxury into modern pieces.

Bead embroidery and bezel settings are the perfect techniques to showcase these flatback treasures. Because they lack a hole, they are intended to be glued into metal settings or surrounded by intricate beadwork using Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 11/0. Whether you are creating a focal point for a statement ring or a matching pair of earrings, the consistent quality and unique color profile of these glass gems provide a professional finish for any jewelry making project.

Sustainability and tradition go hand-in-hand when you choose components from a family-run studio. The Rutkovsky workshop continues to use time-honored techniques, pressing each bead into unique molds that define the character of the final product. By selecting these Czech glass beads, you are not just buying a supply; you are supporting a legacy of European craft that brings soul and history to your creative journey.
