8mm Turquoise Picasso Faceted Round Beads [25]
Style: | F579 |
Beads per lot: | 25 |
Cost per bead: | 12.8 cents |
Bead material: | Glass |
Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
8mm round, faceted |
Colors/description: |
Greenish turquoise (i.e., opaque greenish aqua) with a brown mottled "picasso" coating; I also see hints of grayish lavender in the coating. |
Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
Defects: | The picture revealed several beads with pits. It appears that the number of beads with pits is less than 5%, so I didn't reduce the price any. However, if you receive beads with pits, you can contact me for a pro-rated refund. Also, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets. |
How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
There are picasso coatings that are truly lovely, and then there are picasso coatings that make the beads look like they are splattered with mud; this coating is the latter. You may like the look. I'm not sure how much I like it, but I find it interesting. Important: The turquoise glass may look more blue or, possibly, more green than the picture shows, depending on the kind of light you are viewing the beads under. |
