Style no.:

G1647

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm (long) x 8mm (wide) polished rectangles, about 3mm thick.

Colors/description:

Milky red with a silvery picasso coating around the edges.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping.  That includes beads with cracks, deep or long scratches, partially polished windows, large pits, and large spots of picasso coating on the windows.  However, I don't count very small pits, small nicks, very shallow scratches that are hard to see, or small spots of picasso coating on the windows as defects.  Also, if picasso coating got in the holes, making them dark, and you can see them through the glass, I don't count that as a defect.  If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them, and you should contact me for a partial refund.  Added later:  While working with these beads, I noticed that some "windows" are not thoroughly polished, giving them a slightly matte look.  I am eliminating the worst of those beads, but not the ones which have some shine to them.  I just can't afford to eliminate them all.  If you are dissatisfied, let me know.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

Once before I carried opaque red rectangles, but the supplier is out of them, so I got these.  I think they are interesting.  Please note, however, that you can see the holes running through many of them.  Some of the holes are dark because picasso coating got into them.
