Comments:

The colors in my picture aren't quite right.  The beads came out of the camera looking blue, not purple.  I shifted the color of the picture, but couldn't get the color to look right.  The actual color is a bit more plum or amethyst, and less blue than the picture indicates.  There are, however, some blue highlights in the actual beads.  Also, the gold-luster coating appears more gold in the actual beads than in the picture.  I should also mention that the price is a bit high because the supplier's price is higher than I usually pay for beads this small.
