Lantern Beads

Lantern Beads are antiqued style multi-faceted lantern-shaped fire polished glass beads (also known as cathedral beads or window pane beads) with coated ends. These beads are great for bracelets, necklaces or rosaries. Fire polished beads are machine faceted and oven or flame heated. This process makes these beads smoother with softer edging than crystal beads.
