Comments:

For some reason, my camera can't reproduce the sapphire blue color accurately.  I don't know if the problem is my camera or my monitor.  I tried to alter the color in my photo-editing program, but I wasn't able to do it.  When I look at the beads, which I see is a shade of blue that is a little less aqua.
