10mm Dark Aqua Bronze Polished Oval Beads [20]

Style no.:  G1907
 
Beads per lot:  20

Cost per bead:  22.5

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  10mm (long) x 9mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) ovals with polished "windows"; the hole runs through the long dimension.

Colors/description:  Translucent dark aqua with a bronze-colored coating around the edges.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping.  I can't eliminate every bead which has a slight defect, so I use my judgement as to which defects are so serious that the bead can't be used.  Certainly, cracks, deep or long scratches, large pits, partially polished sides, large spots of picasso coating on the sides, and malformations are all enough for me to eliminate a bead.  But I may not eliminate a bead if it has very shallow scratches, small pits, or very small spots of picasso coating on the sides, or other small anomalies that don't ruin the overall appearance.  Translucent beads which have gotten picasso coating in the holes, so that the holes are dark, are not eliminated.  If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them, and you should contact me for a pro-rated refund.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  These are very pretty beads.  I hadn't bought this shape before because it was just as expensive as the 12mm beads, but I eventually realized that my customers would like them.  Please note that the shade of aqua that you see may change slightly depending on the light source.
