Item no.:

G959

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm long barrel or squat-oval beads with a diamond pattern on four sides

Colors/description:

clear glass with swirls of crimson red; some beads have more red than others

Defects:

The large photo that I first took showed a lot of bubbles in the beads, but I've never considered bubbles to be a serious defect.  In fact, I find them charming.  The beads are quite small and the bubbles aren't very noticeable.

Comments:

The supplier called these '5mm' beads, so I called them that at first and divided them up into lots of 100.  But then I measured them and found they are 6mm.  The next time I carry them, I will sell them in lots of 50.
