Item no.:

F327

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round, faceted

Colors/description:

Oxblood red, which is a dark red which varies in opacity throughout the bead; each bead has a seam in the middle.  Oxblood red varies depending on the light source:  In artificial light, it can look almost maroon; whereas in daylight it can look as bright as ruby red.

Defects:

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

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

As stated above, oxblood red can vary from a dark red to a ruby red, depending on the light source.  The picture above is how the beads would look in bright indoor light (but they'd look much brighter in daylight).  About the price:  I bought these beads without looking at the price, and they were more expensive than my maximum price for 6mm faceted beds; thus, my high price.
