6mm Mixed Pastel Square Beads [50]

Style:  G1876
 
Beads per lot:  50

Cost per bead:  7 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  6mm square, about 3mm thick.

Colors/description:  Mixed opaque pastel colors:  cream white, pink, blue, green, lavender.  The inner bead is white, so the color is all on the surface.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The beads appear to be in good shape, although I have noticed some beads with specks of dirt.  Also, the color is applied to the surface, and on a few beads I have seen patterns or swirls in the color.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  The surface of the beads is unusual.  It has a little shine in it, but not much.  Yet it isn't dull enough to call the beads matte.  In short, I would say that the beads have a dull sheen.

These beads are definitely laid back.  The colors are not intense.  What makes them interesting is the mix of colors.

My picture is not a very good picture.  It is too dark, yet it is also somewhat washed out.  There are too many light reflections in it.
