Cost per bead:

10.4 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

9mm snail-shaped (9mm hole to hole, 8mm side to side, about 5mm thick).

Colors/description:

Opaque pink/white beads with gold inlay in the grooves.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The gold inlay is sometimes "unruly", appearing on parts of the beads where it doesn't belong.  I'm not counting those beads as defective because I feel they are usable.  Also, all the beads have a seam running around the curved outer edge.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

This pink is slightly peachy.  The price is high because I purchased these beads from one of my more expensive suppliers.
