Size/shape:

Defects:

The picture showed a distressing number of pits in the glass, so I examined several strands and found almost no pits.  However, the second hank of beads I examined had lots of pits.  Clearly, some runs of this bead were made better than other runs, and the runs got mixed together in the mass that I bought.  I cut the beads off the strands and mixed them all together, so that the bad would mix in with the good and no one would get a batch that was highly defective.  Then I reduced the price from $3.90 per 50 beads to $3.00 (that's more than 20%).  Even if the percentage of pitted beads you get is higher than 20%, I think that some of them are usable, so I think that a price drop of 20% is reasonable.  If the percentage of pitted beads you get is significantly higher than 20%, please contact me for a refund.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I like this shape, and black is basic; but please read about the defects.
