10mm Red Tiger Ring Beads [40]

Style no.:  G1908
 
Beads per lot:  40

Cost per bead:  9.5 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  10mm rings, about 3mm thick (the rings are actually 9.8mm wide, but that's close enough to call them 10mm).

Colors/description:  This is the Czech "red tiger" color.  It is mostly opaque dark red with thin black and white stripes.
 
Hole size:  No hole aside from the opening in the middle.

Defects:  The beads are in better-than-average shape (see comments below).

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  I bought these beads even though their price was high.  They are over-priced only because they have an informal quality, not because of their quality, which is very good.  Indeed, these beads are much better made than the 8mm rings that I sell, which have visible mold marks and ridges on them.  These beads are completely smooth, and their perfection is very pleasing.  The stripes in the glass are also quite even.  I am selling them in lots of 40 to keep the per-lot price down.
