| Beads per lot: |
100 |
| Cost per bead: |
3.8 cents |
| Bead material: |
Glass |
| Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
| Size/shape: |
4mm "English" cut beads. The English cut is similar to the bicone shape, but seems to have one side which is flat. (See "Defects" below.) |
| Colors/description: |
Clear beads, at least some of which have a little cloud of blue in them, with an amethyst-purple coating on part of the bead, and then some copper color applied to part of each bead. NOTE: The picture isn't very good. It doesn't show the sparkle of the beads. |
| Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: |
"English" cut beads never have perfect facets. In fact, I suspect that the facets are molded and not cut, but I'm not sure. The irregularity of the appearance seems to be part of their charm. |
| How photographed: |
Under daylight-balanced lamps. |
| Comments: |
As stated in Defects above, English-cut beads are very irregular, even to the point of appearing defective. Their irregularity seems to be part of their charm. They look like they might have been nibbled on by mice. Regarding the picture, it is not quite light enough. The dark amethyst areas are a bit lighter than the picture indicates. However, if you have the brightness on your monitor turned high (as many people do), the beads may look just right. |
