Czech beads are prolific and ubiquitous throughout the beading world. The quality varies greatly, but has steadily improved overall. They make everyting from cut glass and some crystal, to pressed glass, seed beads, and specialty beads.

Czech seed beads are usually sold on hanks, vs by weight, and are more variable than the Japanese beads. They are also in general, less expensive than the corresponding Japanese beads. They are also harder to order by code or product number, or reorder. When you find them, order enough for your projects, you may not ever find them again!
