Cost per bead:

5 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical).

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with a dark olive-green synthetic pearl coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Also, inevitably a few pearls will be missing some coating around one of the holes (a common defect with Czech coated beads).  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps or indentations.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I am on a new batch of these beads, and they don't look as dark as the picture shows (but almost).  My price has come down slightly since I last posted them.
