These faceted tire beads are crafted from high-grade K9 optical glass, a premium material that sets them apart from ordinary glass or standard crystal beads. While most similar beads on the market are made from common glass, these are among the few available crafted from true K9 crystal glass.
Only at gracebead.com can you find genuine K9 beads.
The K9 glass offers:
-
Ultra-High Transparency – K9 glass offers exceptional light transmission and clarity, giving each bead a bright, crisp appearance without the cloudiness or greenish tint common in lower-quality glass.
-
Superior Durability & Hardness – K9 is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than ordinary glass, ensuring your creations maintain their brilliance over time.
-
100% Lead-Free – Unlike traditional lead crystal, K9 glass contains no lead, making it environmentally friendly and safe for all skin types. It provides the clarity and sparkle you expect from premium crystal beads without the associated health or environmental concerns.
Each bead is precision-cut with multiple facets to maximize light reflection, resulting in a brilliant, eye-catching sparkle. The surfaces are smoothly polished and coated with durable, high-quality finishes that resist fading.
