glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

10mm (hole to hole) x 12mm (wide) "3-petal" flowers.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

Defects:

The coating on Czech coated beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be (although I expect that it should last for years, but perhaps not for decades).  The newest Czech synthetic coatings are quite hard and feel like glass.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads, which you can read by clicking here.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These beads have a very rich color.  The color may change slightly depending on the light source.  The AB coating can't really be seen in the picture.
