Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $4.00
Lots Available: 14
Style No. (bin): F627 (dra~)

Style: F627
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 16 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 7.5mm (from hole to hole) x 8mm (wide) beads molded in a rosebud shape with facets around the middle.
Colors/description: Clear glass with gold-colored metal on one side of each bead.  When the gold is reflected through the glass, it has a pinkish hue.  I am fairly certain that the gold-colored metal is fire-polished onto the beads, so it won't come off.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: I haven't noticed any significant defects.  However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I should have gotten these beads a long time ago.  They are very shiny and sparkly.  They should work well as accent beads.  Unfortunately, all the 8mm rosebud beads are pricey.
