Item no.:

G770

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

4mm x 3mm cube-shaped (the beads are a little longer than they are wide)

Colors/description:

glass beads (probably opaque white) with an orange-red synthetic pearl coating

Defects:

Some beads may have anomalies in the coating – ripples, pits, bumps, etc. – but most of them are in good shape.  I don't know how durable the synthetic coating will be.  I have written a special page about glass pearls; please click here to read it.

Comments:

The beads come strung on strands of 120 beads, although some strands may be missing a bead or two.  The color of these beads can appear red or orange-red, depending on the light source.  The supplier calls them "tangerine", but they look nothing like tangerine to me, so I used the word "hyacinth", which is an orangey red.
