Comments:

My picture, which is old and not made to the scale I am using now, makes the beads look a little more magnificent than they are simply because it is so much of a close-up.  But even if they don't look quite as good to the naked eye, these beads are definitely high-quality.  In fact, I consider them to be premium beads at a good price.  They are premium quality because they mix two colors skillfully, one of the colors is satiny, and they have few (if any) defects.
