Price Per Lot: $3.00
Lots Available: 14
Style No. (bin): G2241 (eab)

Style: G2241
Beads per lot: 100
Cost per bead: 3 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 4mm round (spherical).
Colors/description: Copper-colored with a matte finish.  The matte finish isn't accomplished by running the beads through acid, as is usually the case.  Rather, the beads have a coating that is naturally matte (although the beads do have a little shine to them).  I think the coating is synethetic, meaning polymer-based, but I'm not sure.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.
Comments: I can't say why exactly, but I like these beads.  The color is very intense.  They look a little artificial in the sense that they don't look like real copper, but I still think they'll add zing to any design, especially if they are used sparingly.
