The colours, the shapes, the finishes, the quality. There's always that right shape or colour for a piece of jewelry. And of course I also like buying beads from a country (and beadshop) closer to home than, say, China or India, to reduce the transports. Czech crystal from Preciosa is also a product I love to buy.

I don't want to have to price all my lanyards at the high end, so using faceted Czech glass means I can put some out at a budget conscious price. The lanyards use a lot of beads (28 to 31 inches long) and to do them in Swarovski would make them more expensive than most people want to pay. Yep, Czech glass is the way to go for a lot of reasons.

Thanks! Yes they are a staple - I use tons of them. I only recently started using the swarovski crystals as an accent, but still use the Czech crystals/glass for the bulk of my crystal bearing designs. Great information, wonderful history!! Thanks!
