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: |
These are leaded-glass beads, but they pose no hazard to anyone. These are "chameleon" beads, meaning that they change their color depending on the light source. In daylight, they are a fairly dull grayish purple. However, under my daylight-balanced fluorescent lamps at night, they are much more richly colored. To make matters worse, they came out of my camera looking blue. Since the beads aren't blue, I had to shift the color in my photo-editing program, and I got them looking a little like they look under the lamps at night. However, the picture still isn't completely accurate. I would say that the beads are lighter than the picture makes them look. Also, they are (as I said) duller in daylight.
