Item no.:

G1264

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm round (spherical)

Colors/description:

Opaque olive green beads with a brown-gray picasso coating.

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  Apparently the manufacturer rests picasso beads on a surface while they dry, so each bead has a small circle where it was sitting.  In close-up pictures, the circles are very visible; but to the naked eye they blend in with the picasso mottling.  Please note that picasso coatings are not fired onto the bead, so I don't know how durable they are.  However, I've never known such coatings to come off.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

Depending on the light source, these beads may look more yellow than the picture above indicates.
