Lots Available: 15
Style No. (bin): G2236 (dqa~m)

Style: G2236

Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 8mm round (spherical).
Colors/description: Glass beads (white or clear) with a synthetic gold-colored coating which has a matte finish (the finish isn't very matte; it has some shine to it).
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: Coated beads usually have some small defects in the coating.  In the case of these beads, the picture revealed a few beads with defects in the coating, but not many.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.  The close-up shot may show defects that the human eye can't discern.
Comments: Although these beads have a synthetic coating, I'm not calling them pearls because the coating isn't lustrous.  The truth is, the beads look a little cheap to me.  The coating clearly looks synthetic, which makes the beads look like fake gold.  I wouldn't have gotten them, but the supplier's picture made them look very attractive.  Despite what I've said, however, they could be used as accent beads and might look nice.
