Style no.:

G1425

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm flat rectangles (about 3mm thick) with hand-polished "windows".

Colors/description:

Medium translucent topaz with loose horizontal stripes of opaque bluish turquoise.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

These beads are not as well-polished as the other polished beads that I carried, meaning that not all the windows are very shiny.  I am eliminating the worst of the dull beads, but you'll still get some that are not as polished as they should be.

Before shipping, I eliminate beads with cracks, deep or long scratches, partially polished windows, large pits, dirt spots, and large bubbles in the glass.  However, I don't count very small pits, small nicks, or very shallow scratches that are hard to see as defects.  I don't eliminate beads with rough or frosty-looking 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.

Comments:

As I say above, beads with serious defects are eliminated before shipping, so you'll only get beads in good shape.
