Item no.:

G244

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm leaf-shaped with imprinted veins (the beads are about 4mm thick).  The hole runs the long direction.

Colors/description:

Translucent lime green, opaque aqua and white in loose stripes.

Defects:

Some of the leaves have cracks running down the center (along the molded center vein of the leaf).  The crack is always on one side; otherwise, the beads would break apart, and none of them are breaking.  The cracks are hard to see.  I estimate that at least 8%, and possibly as many as 20%, of the beads have cracks.  Because the cracks are hard to see, and because I am sure many customers will use the cracked beads, I have reduced the price by only 8% (from $5.00 to $4.60).  If you buy the beads and feel that the cracks are noticeable, you can return them for a refund (and I will refund your shipping charges also).

Comments:

When I carried these beads three or four years ago, I charged $6.20 for them, and they sold out quickly.  This time around my price is already reduced because I got them at a sale price.  And with the extra 40-cent discount, I feel that my price is reasonable despite the cracks.

The picture above is the old picture, but it is accurate.
