Glass

Czech Republic

6mm round with spiral grooves or indentations near the holes.

Colors/description:

Glass beads, probably white, with a white pearl coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I haven't noticed any defects.  However, Czech glass pearls have a very thin synthetic coating, and I don't know how durable it is.  Another common defect is that a small percentage of pearls will be missing the coating right around one or both of the holes.

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I like this 'whirl' shape.  I wish it came in more colors.
