3x5mm Clear/Purple Faceted Rondelle Beads [50]
Style no.: |
F664 |
Beads per lot: |
50 |
Cost per bead: |
6.4 cents |
Bead material: |
Glass |
Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
3mm (thick) x 5mm (wide) faceted rondelles. Rondelles are beads which are wider than they are long -- in other words, tire-shaped. |
Colors/description: |
Clear glass with a purple coating on part of each bead (the coating is not synthetic). I also see a hint of copper on the beads, so perhaps there is an additional copper coating (but if so, it is very light). |
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
All fire-polished beads have some imperfect facets. |
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. The close-up shot may show defects that the human eye can't discern. |
Comments: |
These are pretty beads, but please note that all my pictures are close-ups and show more detail than you'll see with your eyes. I have noticed about that they look better in daylight than under artificial light, which makes them look a little dull. |
