Ufo N. 7 (7x11mm) - Crystal, Transparent, Sliperit, Half

Tracing their roots back to the centuries-old glassmaking traditions of Northern Bohemia, these glass components embody the artistry of the Crystal Valley. This region has long been celebrated for its masterful manipulation of molten glass, producing treasures that have adorned jewelry across the globe for generations. Each piece carries a legacy of craftsmanship, blending historical techniques with modern aesthetic sensibilities to provide designers with truly unique materials.

The distinctive disc-like silhouette of these Preciosa Ufo beads offers a refreshing departure from standard round shapes, adding architectural interest to any composition. Featuring a stunning Sliperit finish, the crystal glass base is enhanced with a metallic, iridescent coating that shifts between deep violet, magenta, and warm copper tones. This half-coated effect ensures that the transparent clarity of the glass remains visible, creating a play of light and shadow that is particularly effective in tiered or layered designs.
