India

Defects:

 Indian beads are always a little rustic.  In this case, that means that they are not all perfectly shaped (although 4mm Czech beads are not usually perfectly shaped either).  Some beads may be a bit bigger or small than other beads.  Also, the beads may have some small surface irregularities (most of them too small to notice), and an occasional bead will be misshapen.  Despite all this, these beads are in better shape than many Indian beads that I have seen.

I just love this deep, rich color.
