Beads per lot:

115 to 120 beads

Cost per bead:

3.2 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

4mm cube-shaped.  They are 4mm from corner to corner, but only about 3.5mm from hole to hole.

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with a synthetic burgundy red pearl coating; burgundy red is a rich, dark red with purplish overtones.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Inevitably a few pearls will be missing some coating around one of the holes, but those beads are often still usable.  Sometimes there are sharp little "tags" of coating sticking out around some of the holes; the best way to remove them is with cuticle nippers.  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as small lumps or indentations.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

Despite all the so-called defects mentioned above, the beads look very good to the naked eye, with a nice satiny surface.
