Comments: |
I got these beads at the request of a customer. They are quite expensive given their small size. If they sell well, I will get them in other colors; but I'm not usually willing to pay so much for beads of this size. Celsian coatings are interesting. They seem to be a mixture of topaz and bronze. If you look at them from one dimension, it appears there is a layer of topaz on part of each bead; but when the light reflects off them, it looks like a bronze coating. |
