Style No.:

G681

Beads per lot:

20

Cost per bead:

21 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm (long) x 8mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) flat ovals with a polished "window" on each side.  These are commonly known as "table-cut" beads.

Colors/description:

Opaque pink with a brown picasso coating around the edges; the pink glass is not absolutely uniform in color and has some darker swirls in it.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I examine all table-cut beads individually and eliminate the defective ones before shipping.  Please note, however, that these particular beads have many windows that were polished at an angle, resulting in a lop-sided look.  I eliminate the beads that are the most lop-sided, but beads that are only slightly lop-sided are included.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These window beads have proven very popular.  Opaque (coral) pink is one of my favorites.
