Style no.:

G1622

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 yellow beads with what I think is two picasso coatings:  a dark-brown picasso coating with a grayish-aqua picasso coating on top of it.  Then, there is 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:

It's possible that there is only one picasso coating on these beads, but if so, it is very sophisticated that it contains so many colors.  In the original large picture, I see dark brown, grayish-aqua, and olive green.
