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.) |

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. |
