Item no.:

G1130

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical)

Colors/description:

glass beads (probably white) with a brown synthetic coating with swirls of black in it

Defects:

The coating on synthetically coated Czech beads tends to be thin; I don't know how durable the coating will be.  Some beads may be missing a small amount of coating around one hole.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These coated beads are a little unusual.  Each one has a pool of black at one end (surrounding one of the holes) which is the source of the black swirls.  I don't know how they make them.

Important:  The color in the picture is subtly different from the actual beads.  The actual beads are a bit lighter (when viewed in bright light) and the brown is a little less yellow.
