glass

Czech Republic

4mm round (spherical)

bronze-colored

I haven't noticed any defects

Comments:

The bronze color is on the surface; the inner bead is probably clear glass.  Metal is used to make the coating, but I don't know if it is actually bronze.  I believe that the coating is fused (i.e., fire-polished) to the glass to make it durable, but I'm not sure.
