glass

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

7mm x 8mm rosebud-shaped molded beads with facets around the outer edge.

Translucent ruby with a mottled bronze coating.

Defects:

I haven't noticed any defects, but please note that fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.

Comments:

These are unusual beads.  I'm not sure how successful the combination of a translucent ruby bead with a bronze coating is.  The beads appear translucent only in very bright light.  Please note that the actual beads are more sparkly than the picture shows.
