Defects:

I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping.  I can't eliminate every bead which has a slight defect, so I use my judgement as to which defects are so serious that the bead can't be used.  Certainly, cracks, deep or long scratches, large pits, partially polished sides, large spots of picasso coating on the sides, and malformations are all enough for me to eliminate a bead.  But I may not eliminate a bead if it has very shallow scratches, small pits, or very small spots of picasso coating on the sides, or other small anomalies that don't ruin the overall appearance.  Translucent beads which have gotten picasso coating in the holes, so that the holes are dark, are not eliminated.  If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them, and you should contact me for a pro-rated refund.

Comments:

I'm calling the opaque portion of these beads "coral pink", but "orange" may be more accurate.  Whatever the color is, this color combination is very effective.  Unfortunately, a high percentage of the beads are defective, so I am throwing a lot of them away.  As a result, the remaining good ones become all the more expensive, and I have to charge a little more for them.
