Description (5K) Mykonos 8x10mm rectangle beads is a hand-formed, metalized ceramic bead. Made in Greece. A different shape of bead these are the Silver Rectangle Ceramic beads. These wonderful Greek Ceramic beads start as kiln-fired terracotta “biscuits.” They are then fired a second time with rough copper, and finished with a coating of Pure Fine Silver (9.99%). A clay bead is formed and fired in a kiln. A coating of copper is applied to the clay base, then the bead is fired again. Last, a third layer of metal is applied, such as gold, silver or more copper , and then the beads are kiln fired for a final time. This fuses the metal to the bead, The beads have large holes suitable for stringing on cord and leather. I advise keeping them in plastic sealed bags until needed for use. No abrasive products should be used on them, but a soft silver cleaning cloth to help restore the shine. Size (mm): 8×10 Quantity: 5 Ceramic Fired in a Kiln Thanks for stopping by!
