Style no.:

G1691

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

16mm ovals (14mm wide and 6.5mm thick) with a swirly pattern on each side.  The hole runs through the length.

Colors/description:

Opaque muted or grayish teal (or perhaps this could be called turquoise).

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The picture is a little dark; the actual beads are a bit lighter.

Unfortunately, the picture revealed cracks in the beads.  The cracks are so fine that they won't be noticed by anyone unless the beads are inspected very closely under bright light.  My normal policy is to not reduce the price if a defect is hard to see.  However, since these are premium beads, I gave them a lower-than-normal markup (two thirds of the normal markup).  If you are unhappy with the beads, you can, of course, return them.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

My picture may be a little dark – not by much, but a little.  These are nice beads.
