Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape.
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: These are not the nicest red picasso beads I have seen.  To me, they look rather dull.  The best picasso coatings are actually made of silver oxide (silver turns many interesting colors when it oxidizes), but these beads have a non-silver coating which is (to be honest) an imitation of silver oxide.  Even so, the beads aren't ugly.  Maybe my standards are just too high.
