Style no.:

G1739

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm (from hole to hole) x 12mm (wide) three-petal flowers with grooves along the sides.  The hole runs through the center of the flower.

Colors/description:

Opaque light blue with a purple/bronze coating sprayed on part of each bead.  I expect the coating to be durable, but I am not certain.  I don't know if the coating has been heat-bonded to the beads.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  I usually inspect premium beads individually, but I can't inspect these because of the unusual shape.  If you receive any defective beads, please contact me for a partial refund.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I don't usually think of beads with sprayed-on coatings as being premium quality, but these beads seem to be particularly well made.  The glass is a nice color, and the coating is even and well done.
