Glass

Czech Republic

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I haven't noticed any defects.  However, please note that Czech glass pearls have a very thin nacre (pearl coating), so I don't know how durable they will be.  I have written a special page about glass pearls; please click here to read it.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

Real pearls, of course, never come in this bright color.  The supplier calls this color "tangerine", but I'm darned if I've ever seen a tangerine that was bright orangey-red.
