Comments:

Important:  I restocked these beads at the request of a customer, and the new beads appear a little lighter to me, but that may be my imagination.  The actual beads have stripes that aren't quite so dense (meaning close together) as shown in the picture, and the red color is a little lighter than the picture shows.  Unfortunately, the supplier's price has gone up, so my price has gone up also.
