Size/shape: |
9mm flat, round beads (about 4mm thick) with a spiral "snail-shell" pattern . |

Clear (colorless) neads with a silvery, slightly irridescent AB (aurora borealis) coating on part of each bead. |
|
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: | The beads appear to be in good shape, although the picture revealed a few beads that have dirt in the glass. Judging from the picture, it appears that 1% of the beads, or less, may have dirt in the glass. I only reduce the price when defects seem to exceed 5%. |
| How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
| Comments: |
These are very pretty beads. I generally don't like AB coatings that much, but they look good on clear beads. The price is a little high because I got them from one of my more expensive suppliers. |

| Caleb's notes: |
I couldn't find the invoice, and I couldn't remember if I got 15% off, 20% off, or 25% off.* Also, since I couldn't find the invoice, I had to get the price from B's site. Of course, it's possible that B may have raised the price since I purchased them (probably not, though the price seems awfully high now). I calculated the price based on a 15% discount, but then I gave them my lowest markup. If I had calculated them based on a 25% discount and given them my standard markup, the price would have been about the same. (* Actually, I did find an invoice, but there were zeros on it. B might have sent these to me to satisfy a credit I had coming -- but even if he did that, he should have put the price on the invoice. Strange.) |
