Just found this series of videos and have LOVED them! My nephew is a glass blowing artist and so I'm a little familiar with that process from talking with him. Now I have much more appreciation for the Czech processes! So beautiful and they must also have a passion for the beads they make to put so much work into them! Have always loved Czech glass but it's just cool to have seen a little more of the process! Thank you so much and also the company you work with for allowing the filming!
Thanks Diane. Yes the entire Czech manufacturing process is EXTREMELY labor intensive. There are many more steps through the entire process than most people realize.
I collect vintage jewellery and my favourites are the long glass beaded necklaces of the 20s/30s. After much research I found the beads on those necklaces were predominantly Czech glass. I was totally blown away! After 100 years, still stunningly beautiful. I can safely say that it's 100% solely down to Czech glass beads that I make jewellery now, my jewellery is 90% Czech glass. It truly is incredible, the finishes and the facets, so beautiful.
I ❤️ beads! Seriously, I have TONS of beads of all kinds: Japanese seed beads, Czech glass beads, Swarovski crystal beads, Chinese cut glass beads, semiprecious stone beads, trade beads, and so much more.
Thank's Allie for this so i nteresting video,I'm very impress by the whole process to make the coating of those Beads one thing is shure i will never see my Czech Beads the same way,it's very impressive & that video make another view on the price of these Beads,Thank's again Allie i really enjoy to watch this one!

The durability of different vacuum coatings tend to vary. Most are very durable and stand up to extensive wear and environmental factors but a few others aren't quite as durable. Crystal capri gold and crystal amber tend to be some of the least durable and rub off more easily than others.
We hear you, Nancy. The best products are often more expensive however we make sure to provide best quality beads that all of our customers will definitely enjoy.
Thank you for sharing this series...very interesting to see the process. I am interested in the seed beads... are they similar...pressed or do they use a different process for those? Makes me really appreciate my beads!
+Carla H seed beads are done differently through an extrusion process, with a few exceptions like Matubo beads, which are pressed: www.potomacbeads.com/Matubo-Seed-Beads-s/3133.htm
+Potomac Bead Company Thanks! It would be awesome to see this sometime if you ever get an opportunity to make a video. This was so amazing to see! You were very wonderful to allow the process to be photographed for all us bead lovers! It is hard for me to imagine making the tiny seed beads! Much gratitude to you.
I have a greater appreciation for these beads now. Again, thank you for sharing.

I am so surprised by how much of this process is done by hand, and in small batches! Great series of videos.

Wow!anyone else shocked by how roughly the man treats the glass?!I certainly won’t be worrying about how fragile they are in future x
very neat tour thanks for taking us along :D
Very interesting. We just don't realise just how much work is needed in making these beautiful beads. TYFS.
Thank you for the tour ... that was very interesting and really ... appreciate more the beads I use!

Czech beads are best, i using this on fishing lure. Your videos are interesting👍👍(sorry, my english is bad, i hope you understand my report)
Glad you like them!. Thanks :)
Wow! So are the beads coated and cured and then they wash the coating off and it just stays in the cracks?

Very interesting, thanks. Are the coatings permanent or do they come off?

@@Potomacbeadco Thanks so much.
When will you be doing a video on the vacuum coating process
I'll certainly think twice before complaining about the price of beads again.
