When we hear that glass beads from the Czech Republic are the oldest, we mean that they originated much earlier in the Czech Republic, from which they get their name.
In the distant year 1550, the Czech Republic was known as Bohemia. It was there that the manufacture of glass beads arose, specifically in the cities of Jablonec, Stanovsko and Bedrichov.
Although it should be noted that the production of glass beads began in ancient Egypt and many cultures have successfully adopted the practice over the centuries, glass beads became particularly loved and successful in Bohemia/Czech Republic due to the abundant resources of water, quartz and sand in the area.
But surely it was thanks to the Bohemians (and later the Czechs), who showed a unique creativity and curiosity that allowed them to experiment with the process of making glass beads and came to produce beads with perfected manufacturing techniques reaching beauty, variety and high quality.
