Defects: |
The picture revealed that quite a few beads have bubbles in the glass, and some beads are malformed. I got these beads on sale, so my price of $2.50 is already low. Nonetheless, I reduced the price a little further. I should point out, however, that to the naked eye, the bubbles are not always visible, and you may use the beads with bubbles. One good thing: The holes running through the length of the beads are fairly neat, meaning that they aren't rough or "frosty" looking, a look I've always hated.
|
How photographed: |
Under two daylight-balanced lamps. Note: Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead, but that can't be helped.

Comments: |
My picture didn't capture the color of the beads quite right. They are a little more golden-yellow than orange-yellow. I tried fixing the color in my photo-editing program, but didn't get it exactly right. (I should also point out, however, that the color of the beads will change slightly depending on the light source.)
