Cost per bead:

8.6 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm round, fluted (flutes are grooves in the sides)

Colors/description:

Clear glass with a golden metallic "celsian" coating.  I believe that the coating is fired onto the beads, so it should be very durable.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  There may be some roughness in some of the grooves.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These are very nice "glittery" beads.  The actual beads may be a little lighter than the picture indicates.
