Bead material:

glass

Czech Republic

Translucent orangey-red with a dark brown picasso (mottled) coating around the edges.

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

Defects:

I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping.  However, some windows may be smaller than standard, and those beads are not eliminated.  I also eliminate beads with cracks, scratches, partially polished windows, large pits, large spots of picasso coating on the windows, and large bubbles in the glass.  However, I don't count very small pits, small nicks, very shallow scratches that are hard to see, or small spots of picasso coating on the windows as defects.  If the beads are translucent, as these are, I don't eliminate beads with rough or frosty-looking holes running through them.  Some beads may have gotten picasso coating inside the holes, and I don't count those as defective; those beads will appear to have very dark holes running through them.  If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them and you should contact me for a partial refund.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The red of these beads is definitely bright and a little orangey.  Red doesn't photograph well, so the beads may look a little fuzzy.
