8mm Dark Bronze Teardrop Beads [50]

Cost per bead:

7.4 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

8mm (from end to end) teardrops with the hold through the narrow end.

Colors/description:

Glass beads (probably clear) with a dark bronze surface; I don't know if the surface is actual bronze.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  The picture revealed one bead with a spot on it, and there may be others, but probably not many.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The bronze coating on these beads is probably heat-sealed, so it should be durable.  In the years that I've been dealing with metallic-coated beads, I have never known the coating to come off of any of them.
