Comments:

The picture isn't quite accurate.  First of all, the gold luster coating shows up as light brown.  In actuality, the gold color on the surface of the beads is quite visible.  Also, the pink of actual beads is a bit darker.  Altogether, I think the actual beads are better-looking than the picture makes them show.

Regarding the price, it is so high because I got these beads from one of my more expensive suppliers.
