Style no.:

G1753

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

10mm squares, about 4mm thick.  The beads are not perfectly uniform from one to the next, and the size can vary by about 1/2 mm.

Colors/description:

Opaque red with a yellow-brown "picasso" coating.  The coating isn't very even, and some beads are mostly red, while others are mostly brown.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

A close examination of the large pictures out of the camera shows that some beads may have cracks or fissures.  However, they are impossible to see under the picasso coating.  Since none of the beads are breaking, and since the defects can't be seen, I haven't lowered the price.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I inadvertently bought two premium-quality 10mm red picasso square beads at the same time.  These are darker than the others.
