Item no.:

G1135

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical)

Colors/description:

glass beads (probably white) with a synthetic aqua coating and black speckles

Defects:

The coating on coated Czech beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be.  Also, inevitably a few beads will be missing their coating around one of the holes (a common defect with Czech coated beads).  A few beads may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a bit of dirt.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads; please click here to read it.

How photographed:

In the light tent with studio lights.  This explains why the beads look dull; they actually have a shiny surface.

Comments:

I have these in 8mm, although the shade of aqua is slightly different.
