I estimate that less than 5% of the beads are misshapen. Most of the misshapen beads have a bulge on one side. I had intended to charge $4.00, but I lowered the price to $3.80.

Comments: |
These beads vary in shade (i.e., relative lightness or darkness) from one bead to the next, and I like that because it makes them look more natural. As I said above, a small percentage of beads are bulging on the side. I don't ordinarily lower the price if the defects are under 5%, but I decided to do that in this case. If $3.80 seems like a high price for a lot of 5mm beads, remember that you are buying 100 beads, not the usual 50. What makes these beads unusual is that they are 5mm. Czech beads are usually made in 4mm or 6mm, but rarely in 5mm.
