Item no.:

G1413

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm and 8mm round (i.e., spherical).

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably white) with a synthetic coating of light turquoise mixed with swirls of black.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The coating on coated Czech coated beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be.  Inevitably, a few beads will be missing their coating around one of the holes (a common defect).  A few beads may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a bit of dirt.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads; please click here to read it.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I already carry turquoise marble beads in a much darker color, but I like this lighter color.  Please note that the difference in size between the 6mm and 8mm beads is greater than I've indicated in the pictures.  The 6mm beads should be a little smaller.
