Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

3mm x 6mm faceted rondels.

Clear glass with a spray of metallic purple on one side of each bead.

Defects:

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

How photographed:

In the light tent with studio lights.  This method always makes the beads look a little dull.

Comments:

I love beads with subtle colors like this.  However, the dullness of the picture bothers me.  I took pictures both inside and out of the light tent, and the ones out of the light tent were just too bright and sparkly, but they were more realistic.
