Machine-Cut Beads

The cut sisters of precious stones. Machine-Cut Beads, otherwise known as tin cut beads, are exceptional types of glass beads, the smallest range in the JABLONEX bead collection, beads that putting the finishing touches to and crown the comprehensive nature of the range on offer at the JABLONEX GROUP.

Tin cut beads are actually an intermediate level between stones and beads and it is difficult to say to which category they are closer. The terminology, properties and to a certain extent the production technique class them as stones, but their shape and holes move them towards the bead family. They were first created and are made to this day in order to combine the qualities of both categories – the optical qualities, radiance and brilliance of cut stones and the multiple uses of beads.

The specific properties of JABLONEX tin cut beads are as follows:

• a small range, since only the main category of this type of bead, the so-called “little sun”, is made at the JABLONEX GROUP.
• a limited range of coloured glass; however, this can be supplemented with a wide range of surface treatments.
• the high level of technological and environmental standards of production and resulting products that comply with the very strictest EU criteria.
• the stability and scope of the production base, which guarantees wide availability and standard terms of delivery for the products on offer even during seasonal fluctuations of demand.
• the longest tradition and global distribution.

JABLONEX tin cut beads are the smallest, but a much loved member of the glass bead and seed bead family at JABLONEX and have been an inseparable part of life around us for over 50 years now. They are created using one of the most beautiful natural materials of all, Bohemian glass, using the sandstone from the rock towns of Bohemian Paradise and the skilled hands of many generations of Bohemian glassmakers.
