More Details
The Soft Blue Blessed Mother Rosary has a timeless, classic design. For over 100 years, the Czech Republic has produced glass beads that outdo all others for their quality and beauty. We chose two sizes of the same bead colour for this rosary. We wrapped the caps on the Our Father beads to stay in place. That way, even praying with closed eyes is made easy. The Crucifix and center have sturdy loops. This rosary is handmade and built to last for years of prayer.
Fire-polished Czech Glass Beads
History
Glass production began in the Czech Republic (Bohemia) as early as the 12th Century. The technique of fire-polishing glass beads started four centuries later. In Jablonec, a small village a few hours north of Prague, the idea took root.
In the late 1920s, they became the top glass bead exporter worldwide. Today, the Czech Republic continues to lead the glass bead-making industry.
How They are Made
The first step is to combine hot glass with different metal oxides to create the desired colour. Then machines press the hot, softened glass into bead molds.
Finishing Touches
Next, they grind tiny facets into the cooled glass. These angled cuts are what will reflect the light. Next, they directly apply fire to the faceted beads. This step is the traditional fire-polishing method. It gives them a smooth, scratch-resistant finish. Finally, they coat some of them with a finish.
