Beads per lot:

50

Cost per bead:

7.8 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm ovals (not flat); these beads are shaped like footballs.

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with an orange-gold synthetic coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Also, inevitably a few pearls will be missing some coating around one of the holes (a common defect with Czech coated beads).  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a bit of dirt.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads; please click here to read it.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I though this color was unusual, so I got it in three sizes.
