Item no.:

G1428

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm cocoon-shaped.

Colors/description:

Clear glass with a matte finish and an AB coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

All the beads have seams down the sides that protrude a little.  I noticed that some beads have dirt spots on them (because of the rough finish, matte beads sometimes pick up dirt).  If you get too many beads that have dirt spots that won't wash off, contact me a for a refund (you won't have to return the beads).

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I'm not a fan of AB coatings, and I wouldn't have gotten these beads if I had noticed that they had AB coatings.  However, now that I have them, I think the AB coating actually adds a little something to the beads.
