hi mel, fire polished (czech) beads can have an ab coating. 'fire polished' refers to the fact that they are polished over a hot fire after being machine faceted. they are often slightly irregular, and just not as crisp and perfect looking as swarovski beads. in jewelry, i think they are still a sign of quality and i am guessing that they would help narrow a piece of jewelry down to whether it was made in europe or in japan. 🙂 i agree the set looks like 70s. and for some reason that clasp is still saying sarah cov. to me. pat, did sarah cov. ever NOT mark their jewelry?
