Defects:

The coating on Czech coated beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be (although I expect that it should last for years, but perhaps not for decades).  The newest Czech synthetic coatings are quite hard and feel like glass.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads, which you can read by clicking here.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These are very pretty beads, very colorful.  The supplier's picture makes the beads look dull, but they are shiny.  I don't know how the supplier manages to photograph beads that don't have light reflections on them.  The supplier is probably quite pleased at their photographic techniques, but beads without reflections don't look natural.

To show you the shape a little better, here is the supplier's picture:
