Style No. (bin): F617 (eca~)

Style: F617
Beads per lot: 100

Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 4mm round, faceted.
Colors/description: Opaque pink beads with a heavy gold luster coating applied unevenly to the beads, which I call "topaz".
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: An occasional bead may be malformed, which is common with very small beads.  Also, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I've carried this color combination in other sizes and shapes before, but not 4mm faceted.  I've always called it "pink/topaz", but the topaz is just a heavy gold-luster coating that has been applied unevenly so that some of the pink shows through.  About the picture:  My picture doesn't have the usual "look" because there wasn't enough light from the window when taking the photographs, and I had to use a lamp.  Using a lamp makes the beads look a little sharper and more contrasty, but to me the look is more artificial than when I use just daylight.  As soon as I can raise some money, I'll be getting a better camera that will take good low-light pictures so I can alway use daylight.
