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. Also, the close-up shots may show defects that the human eye can't discern. |
Comments: |
These are unusual beads. I've never before seen a bead that had a swirl of opaque pink inside of translucent topaz. Frankly, I'm not sure how I like them, but you're opinion is more important than mine. The shape is also unusual. Imagine that you took a soft clay ball and used your fingers and thumbs to pinch it so that it had four sides. |
