Style No.:

G649

Beads per lot:

75

Cost per bead:

5.2 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical)

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with a lustrous light aqua synthetic coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Inevitably a few pearls will be missing some coating around one of the holes, but those beads are often still usable.  Sometimes there are sharp little "tags" of coating sticking out around some of the holes; the best way to remove them is with cuticle nippers.  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as small lumps or indentations.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

After selling these beads for a while, I noticed that the picture is more bluish than the actual beads.  When I look at these beads under the daylight-balanced lights that I use at home, they look slightly more green than the picture shows.
