Lots Available: 18
Style No. (bin): G2254 (ceas?+e)

Style: G2254
Beads per lot: 100
Cost per bead: 5.4 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 6mm (long) x 4mm (wide) teardrops with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.
Colors/description: Bluish turquoise with lavender mottling and a gold-luster finish; the gold color is not very pronounced.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: I noticed at least one bead which was slightly malformed (not unusual with small beads), but overall they appear to be in good shape.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.
Comments: The picture is accurate but doesn't show the gold-luster coating very well.  It is not a heavy gold coating, but it is more visible to the eye than the picture shows.

It's worth noting that the supplier calls these "turquoise/pink" beads.  Apparently, to their eyes the lavender color that I'm seeing looks like pink.  To me, it definitely looks lavender.

The price for these beads was fairly high, partly because I didn't have the money to buy five mass, which would have given me a discount (sorry!).  Nonetheless, in such circumstances I will usually divide the lots in half to make the price more affordable.  But in this case the beads come 100 per strand, so I have to sell them in lots of 100 unless I want to count out every lot, which I don't.
