Style no.:

G1621

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

17mm-long, 13mm-wide, nautilus-shaped beads.  The hole runs through the long dimension.

Colors/description:

Opaque silky blue beads with a dark-green picasso coating and coral red in the grooves of the pattern.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I haven't noticed any significant defects.  If these beads have the fissures in the grooves which another of the nautilus beads have, they are very few.  The picture revealed, however, that not all the grooves have the coral red in them.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These are dark, moody beads, but they are totally unique.  I've never seen any other Czech beads like them.
