Style no.:

G1726

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm (long) x 11mm (wide) x 5mm (thick) fan-shaped beads with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.

Colors/description:

Translucent dark fuchsia with a swirl of white inside each bead (which looks pink through the cranberry glass).  The amount of white varies considerably from one bead to the next, so some beads are mostly dark and some are mostly light.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I noticed one bead which had light-colored dirt in the glass along the sides.  It's possible that other beads have dirt in the glass also.  The problem for me is that I can't inspect the beads along the edges; doing so is just too much work.  What I intend to do is to examine each side.  If I see any dirty, I'll eliminate those beads.  If you end up getting beads which have dirt in the glass which I didn't notice, please contact me for a partial refund.

Comments:

I'm a sucker for the cranberry/pearl color combination, and I love this fan shape.
