Bead material:

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

Cubes, approximately 3.5mm from hole to hole and 4mm from corner to corner.

Colors/description:

Bronze-colored with what appears to be a reddish iris coating.  The reddish iris coating has hints of purple in it, and possibly pink as well.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:

One older picture was taken at the window in natural daylight.  The newer pictures were taken under two daylight-balanced lamps, which unfortunately cause two or more light spots to appear on each bead.  The older picture is a little dark but shows the multi-colored coating better, whereas the newer pictures may be a little too bright and don't show the multi-colored coating well.

Comments:

These beads have evolved over the years.  The first batch looked chintzy, and most beads had a dark spot on one side.  However, subsequent batches have looked much better.  They have sold well.
