Size/shape: |
15mm (from tip to tip) x 9mm (wide) crystal teardrops with the hole running sideways through the narrow end. These are Preciosa-brand cut-crystal beads, not fire-polished beads.
|
Colors/description: |
Clear beads with a light gold-brown coating on part of each bead (the coating is not synthetic). Like celsian coatings, clarit coatings are, I believe, sealed to the surface of the bead by heat. However, these beads are not fire-polished, so I don't know how they accomplish that.
|
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
These are high-quality cut-crystal beads. Despite that, some beads may have a few small nicks at the edges of some facets. I am inspecting the beads individually, and I am eliminating beads that have larger nicks, but I am not eliminating beads that have very small nicks. If you are dissatisfied with the beads, please contact me.

Comments: |
First, these are leaded-glass beads, but they pose no hazard to anyone. About the color: I have one supplier which uses all kinds of unusual words to describe different coatings. Usually I don't pick up on those words, but in this case I have. This coating is like a celsian coating, but much lighter.
