15mm Cranberry/Pearl Dagger Beads [50]

Style:  G1162
 
Beads per lot:  50

Cost per bead:  7.6

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  15.5mm (long) x 5mm (wide) x 3mm (thick) dagger-shaped beads with the hole running sideways through the narrowest end.

Colors/description:  Translucent fuchsia glass with a white stripe in the middle of each bead.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The picture revealed that some beads (probably not more than 10%) are slightly malformed, with tips that are rounded instead of pointed, or other problems.  Most of those beads will be usable since it is unlikely that your customers will be concerned if every bead isn't perfectly shaped.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  I carried these beads once before.  Unfortunately, the earlier version was better made, with two distinct white stripes in each bead.  In these beads, there appears to be one stripe, and it is less clearly formed.  However, the price per 50 has dropped from $5.00 to $3.80.
