| Style: | G2076 |
| Beads per lot: | 25 |
| Cost per bead: | 16 cents |
| Bead material: | Glass |
| Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
| Size/shape: |
8mm round with 3 facets or "cuts" around the middle. |
| Colors/description: |
Opaque light lavender with a mottled pink or lavender "picasso" coating on the round portions. All the beads have a visible seam in the middle which is the same shade as the rest of the bead, but darker. |
| Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: | Some slight imperfections can be seen in the facets (specifically, shallow ridges can be seen on some facets), but that is normal for Czech faceted beads. I also noticed an occasional nick or small pit. |
| How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
| Comments: |
The supplier calls these beads "Persian Rose", but to me they look more lavender than pink. In the past, however, I have used the word "mauve" to describe the coating. I should point out that these 3-cut beads have deeper "cuts" than other beads that I have carried in the past, so they appear triangular when looked at from above. These beads are from a new supplier that has higher prices than the suppliers I was using before, so my price is pretty high. However, I feel that the quality is better. Despite what I say under "Defects" above, I feel that these beads are a cut above the other 3-cut beads that I have carried before. |
