50

Cost per bead:

2 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

India

Size/shape:

Rondels with slightly large holes (about 1.5mm, though some of them are just 1mm); they are 3mm to 4mm thick and 6mm to 7mm wide.

Colors/description:

Translucent sapphire blue with a matte finish.

Hole size:

1.5mm to 2mm (estimated).

Defects:

An occasional bead will be malformed or have a bubble on the surface.  Because the price is already very low, I decided not to lower it any further.  These are Indian beads, so they are not uniform from one to the next.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

In low light these beads can look considerably darker.  They have a rustic quality and should be used in informal jewelry.
