Style no.:

G1198

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm-long ovals with 3 flat sides, making the beads look triangular when looked at from the hole end.

Colors/description:

Clear glass with an inner core of satiny white; there is a black spiral stripe surrounding the white core.  The beads look very slightly gray.

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  All the beads may not be exactly the same size.  When I took the picture, it revealed that some of the beads have a blue spiral stripe surrounding the white core, not a black stripe.  If you enlarge the picture above (by clicking on it), you can see a couple of those beads.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These are hand-made lampwork beads.  When I buy lampwork beads, I start off with a smallish lot.  In this case I ordered 40, but they only had 30, so I won't be able to restock these beads.
