Comments:

I made a lot of adjustments to the colors of this picture, as it looked too red right out of the camera.  I think I got the colors right.  Important:  The picture shows the 8mm version of these beads.  The new 9mm beads have a more slender tip, making them look less chubby (though they are the same width).  In my opinion, the 9mm version looks better.  Apparently, the reason for the change is that the supplier's Czech manufacturer closed, and the supplier has switched to another manufacturer.
