This difference is most easily observed in the consistency, quality and variety of color and finish, as well as the consistency and quality of cut and shape. The faceted round beads commonly known as "Fire Polish" are machine cut and then slightly melted to create smoother edges. Lead Free. Approximately 50 beads per strand.
