Style: G2173
Beads per lot: 100

Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: Tire- or disk-shaped beads, 2mm thick and 4mm wide, with the hole through the center.
Colors/description: Clear glass with a gold-colored coating on part of each bead.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: Very small beads may vary slightly in size or shape from one to the next.  I noticed while working with the beads that there were about five strands that had at least one bead that was severely deformed, so it is possible that you may receive a lot which has only 99 good beads in it.  (Please read Comments below.)
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: These are the first beads I photographed with my new camera in August, 2014, and I didn't use the right camera settings.  Consequently, the image isn't quite right.  The image is a little soft.  Also, the gold color on the beads is richer and more yellow than the picture indicates.  I have already pulled the hanks apart, so I can't re-photograph the beads.

"Apollo" is the term that the suppliers use when a gold-colored coating is applied to half of a bead.  In this case, the gold color looks more like light copper to me.
