Item no.:

F378

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

China

Size/shape:

4mm faceted bicones.  (Faceted bicones have more sides than smooth bicones.)

Colors/description:

Translucent sapphire blue.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated), or perhaps a little smaller.

Defects:

A significant number of the beads are chipped at one end, or are malformed, so I reduced the price from $2.80 to $2.50.

How photographed:

The picture was taken by the supplier.  Important:  After posting the picture, I realized that the supplier used the picture of the 6mm beads for the 4mm beads.  The actual beads may not be as perfectly formed as the beads in the picture because smaller beads tend to have more defects (although, to my eyes, the actual beads look quite good).

Comments:

Those beads which are not defective (see above) are very nice.  Clearly, they aren't fire-polished because I don't see the kinds of malformed facets that I see on Czech faceted beads.  However, I don't know if the facets are cut or molded.

I am selling these beads in lots of 80+ because they come strung that way.  Most customers will get about 85 beads.
