Country of

India |
|
Size/shape: |
round, oval and rondel beads in the sizes 7mm to 10mm
(for the longest ovals) |
|
Colors/description: |
mixed swirled light colors with a high luster coating |
|
Defects: |
The beads are mostly perfect. An occasional bead has an indentation
or other surface anomaly, and undoubtedly a few of them are cracked. Although I think the defects are less
than 5%, I usually include a few extra when I am picking a lot. |
|
Comments: |
Unlike Czech luster coatings, which are satiny and subtle, the coating on these beads is shiny.
I find it appealing, however. I believe that the coating is glass,
not synthetic. Important:
The latest shipment of these beads appears to be all pastel colors, with
no dark colors. |
