Style: | G2047 |
Beads per lot: | 50 |
Cost per bead: | 8.4 cents |
Bead material: | Glass |
Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
6mm round (spherical) with 3 facets or "cuts" around the middle. |
Colors/description: |
Translucent cobalt blue with a mottled grayish-blue "picasso" coating on the round parts of the beads. |
Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
Defects: | I haven't noticed any significant defects. However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets. |
How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
I have carried these beads before, but the earlier beads had sapphire glass instead of cobalt glass. Personally, I think the sapphire version looked better, as the cobalt seems too dark in combination with the picasso coating. |

Reorder the sapphire version (if it is available), not this version. |
