Cost per bead:

6 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm teardrops, about 6mm wide, with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.

Colors/description:

Opaque white.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I have noticed an occasional bead with dirt in the glass.  Also, teardrop beads in general are prone to small surface defects on the round portion, such as small fissures, pits and lines in the glass, but usually those defects are so small that they aren't noticeable.  However, I counted three of the strands from the hanks, and it appears that the strands have between one and four extra beads, so you may receive extra beads.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

When I photographed the beads, I forgot to take them off the hank, so they are all bunched up in the picture above.  If you enlarge the picture, you will see that much of it is over-exposed.  I'll eventually take a better picture.
