Price Per Lot: $3.00
Lots Available: 5
Style No. (bin): G2086 (eaa2+)

Style: G2086
Beads per lot: 118 to 120
Cost per bead: 2.5 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 4mm round (spherical).
Colors/description: Glass beads, probably white, with a synthetic orange-yellow coating.  The supplier calls this color "goldfish".
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The coating on Czech coated beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be (although I expect that it should last for years, but perhaps not for decades).  Synthetic coatings can be pulled off, so you should not pull on it around the holes.  A few beads may have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations, bubbles or a bit of dirt.  Inevitably, a few beads will be missing a bit of coating around one of the holes (a common defect).  Some beads may have "tags" of excess coating around the holes; the tags can be clipped off with small scissors or, better yet, cuticle nippers.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I really love these beads, mainly because I love the rich color.  To my eyes it looks a little milky, although the color is all in the coating.  Despite the fact that the beads are very nice, the price was low, so they are priced at 2.5 cents each instead of the usual 2.8 or 3 cents.

Caleb's notes: When I went back on the site, these beads were gone, so I guess I won't be able to get any more.  I wish I had gotten more than 2 mass.
