Defects:

As with all hand-polished table-cut beads, I inspect all beads before shipping and eliminate seriously defective beads.  You may, however, disagree what is a serious defect.  If you receive any beads which you can't use, please contact me for a pro-rated refund.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The red of these beads is definitely bright and a little orangey.  Red doesn't photograph well, so the beads may look a little fuzzy.

Important:  When I restocked these beads in December, 2013, it appeared to me that the picasso coating around the edges was lighter than it was before.  It is now a gray-brown.  Personally, I think it looks much better than what I carried before.  It's possible that the beads haven't changed and that I just photographed them poorly, but I don't think so.  The picture shows the original, darker picasso coating.
