6mm Gold-Colored Round Glass Pearls [50]

Style:  G1927
 
Beads per lot:  100

Cost per bead:  6.8 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  6mm round (spherical).

Colors/description:  Glass beads, probably white, with a synthetic lustrous gold coating.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The coating on Czech pearls is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it is.  Also, inevitably a few pearls are be missing some coating around one of the holes (a common defect with Czech coated beads).  A few pearls may also have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations or a bit of dirt.  I have written a special page about glass pearls and other coated beads; please click here to read it.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  At the time that I am posting this, I carry another shade of 6mm gold pearls (G933 -- see Related Products).  This shade is less intense and more subtle than the other color.  I consider this color to be more sophisticated.  The other beads are a little crass-looking compared to these.

These beads are more expensive because I get them from one of my more expensive suppliers.
