6mm Dark Olive Green Round Glass Pearls [75] (see Comments)

Cost per bead:

2.7 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical).

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with a dark olive-green synthetic pearl coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Also, inevitably a few pearls will be missing some coating around one of the holes (a common defect with Czech coated beads).  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps or indentations.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

IMPORTANT:  I discovered some years ago that glass pearls have a tendency to fade over time, especially colors that have blue in them, such as green.  As of February, 2020 these beads still look very much like the picture; but since they might fade with time, I have reduced the price substantially.  With the exception of the color lavender, I have never seen pearls lose ALL their color.  Also, it takes years for the colors to fade substantially.
