3x5mm Forest Green Azuro Faceted Rondelle Beads [50]
Style no.: |
F672 |
Beads per lot: |
50 |
Cost per bead: |
6.4 cents |
Bead material: |
Glass |
Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
3mm (thick) x 5mm (wide) faceted rondelles (a rondelle is a round bead which is wider than it is long). Many suppliers and sellers call this the "gemstone" shape. |
Colors/description: |
Translucent medium green with a dark-blue-iris coating on part of each bead (such coatings are sometimes called "azuro" coatings). |
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
I haven't noticed any defects, but fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets. |
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: |
The dark-blue "azuro" coating looks almost black, but you can see some blue in it. My new camera, as wonderful as it is, doesn't reproduce greens very well, so a lot of post-processing was required to make the picture look accurate. I fixed up the picture while viewing the beads under daylight-balanced light bulbs. The colors that you see may vary according to the kind of light you are using. I don't often buy 3mm x 5mm rondelles because I don't feel that I get a lot of "bang for my buck", but some customers like the smaller size. |
