| Style: | 2038 |
| Beads per lot: |
50 |
| Cost per bead: | 7 cents |
| Bead material: | Glass |
| Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
| Size/shape: |
7mm (from hole to hole) x 8mm (wide) spiral-shaped beads that look somewhat like snail shells; these beads are similar to nuggets and baroque beads. |
| Colors/description: |
Glass beads (probably a milky white) with a satiny, light-olive-green synthetic coating. (When I say synthetic, I mean that the coating is polymer-based; the coatings on most other beads on this site are metal-based.) |
| Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: | The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is. Some of the coating may be missing from around the holes of a few pearls, or there may be some roughness in the coating around the holes. Sometimes there are little sharp tags of coating sticking out from around the holes; the best way to remove them is with cuticle nippers. There may also be some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a bit of dirt. Because pearls are lustrous, defects generally aren't visible to the naked eye, but may be seen under a magnifying glass. |
| How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
| Comments: |
Pearls are hard to photograph because the reflections of light from the window appear exaggerated, so I had to do a lot of post-processing on the photo. It came out fairly well, although the light reflections are still too intense. I have these beads in the 6mm size. The color of the beads match very well, although my pictures do not match. The picture of the 6mm was fixed up using a CRT monitor, and I have now switched to an LCD monitor which shows colors a little differently. |
