Comments:

The supplier's picture made these beads look much brighter than they are.  The actual beads are not quite as dark as my picture, but they are dark.  My picture, unfortunately, is poor – to be seen at their best, the beads should not be photographed in a bunch.  Also, the color of the beads in the picture may not be exactly right.  The picture right out of the camera showed the beads to be a plum purple, but they are not, so I adjust the color as well as I could.
