Cost per bead:

G1165

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

10mm coin-shaped; the faces are hand-polished

Colors/description:

Milky purple with a brown mottled coating around the edges

Defects:

The "windows" on these beads are not as shiny and perfect as the windows on the polished rectangles and ovals.  However, I am not counting that a defect.  As with the other polished beads, I am examining these beads individually and eliminating defective beads.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I got these coin-shaped polished beads from a different supplier than the one I get the 12mm rectangles and ovals from.  Even though they are smaller, they are almost as expensive.
