Comments:

The picture above is old. When I restocked these beads after several years, I realized that the blue was the wrong shade, so I adjusted it in my photo-editing program. I didn't get it exactly right, but it is close. For one thing, it isn't quite as dark as the picture indicates.

I first posted these beads in my first year of business, and I charged $6.00 per lot for them. It's a measure of how over-priced my beads were that I now charge less, even though the wholesale price has gone up because of the weak dollar. I don't know why anyone bought anything from me in that first year. (Reposted 11/13/09)
