Comments:

A customer asked me to get dagger beads, so I'm starting out with a small selection of 10mm daggers in translucent colors.  They come on strands of 100, so I'm selling them in lots of 100.  The supplier's picture is pretty good (except that the actual beads are a bit lighter, look shinier, and they are a bit more stubby-looking), so I've decided to use it.  Please note that to my eyes, the red isn't exactly right, but then my monitor hasn't been calibrated, or perhaps the light in my room differs from the daylight that I used to photograph the beads.  Despite their 10mm size, these beads are quite small.
