Molten glass is poured into molds to form round bead shapes. After cooling, the beads have small facets created during molding.\n\nThey are then briefly reheated in a controlled flame — this is the fire polishing process. The heat slightly melts the surface, smoothing sharp edges while preserving the faceted texture. The result is a bead that combines sparkle, durability, and a refined finish.\n\nThis technique has long been associated with high-quality Czech glass bead production, known worldwide for precision and craftsmanship.\n— — — — — — — — — —\nThe History of Uranium \/ Vaseline Glass\n\nUranium glass, often called Vaseline glass, dates back to the 19th century. Small amounts of uranium oxide were added to molten glass to create distinctive yellow or green coloring.\n\nDuring daylight, the glass appears yellow to yellow-green. However, under ultraviolet (black) light, the uranium content causes a bright fluorescent glow — a property that fascinates collectors and designers alike.\n\nHistorically, uranium glass was used for decorative objects, tableware, and art glass. Today, uranium-inspired and UV reactive glass components are highly popular in alternative jewelry, retro aesthetics, and niche collectible markets.\n\nThe uranium content used historically was very small and primarily served as a coloring agent. Modern uranium-style beads are valued mainly for their fluorescent effect and vintage-inspired appearance.\n\n🔦 Please note: The fluorescent effect is visible only under UV (black) light.","brand":"URANIUMGLASSGLOW","offers":[{"title":"4mm (25pcs)","offer_id":58457437438326,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6mm (25pcs)","offer_id":58457437471094,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm (25pcs)","offer_id":58457437503862,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/4317\/9382\/files\/42f5dbbd-il_fullxfull.7748582113_fhep.jpg?v=1786710916","url":"https:\/\/www.uraniumglassglow.com\/products\/uranium-glass-yellow-fire-polished-beads-uv-reactive-vaseline-glass-80130-25-pcs-for-jewelry-making-diy-crafts-collectors-supplies","provider":"URANIUMGLASSGLOW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
