25mm Aqua/Yellow/Fuchsia Twisted Teardrop Beads [3]

Style no.:

G1094

Beads per lot:

3

Cost per bead:

80 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic or India (not sure).

Size/shape:

Flat teardrops that have been twisted, a little like a potato chip.  They are between 24mm and 26mm (some may be slightly shorter or longer).  They are 11mm to 12mm wide.  They are 4mm thick, not counting any thickness added by twisting.

Colors/description:

Translucent aqua, light yellow and fuchsia on the tip; these are hand-made lampwork beads.

Hole size:

1.75mm to 2mm (estimated).

Defects:

I have noticed some bubbles in the glass, but I don't count bubbles as defects in lampwork beads (they are inevitable).  Beads with more serious defects are eliminated before shipping.

How photographed:

In the light tent with studio lights.

Comments:

These are gorgeous beads, and I feel fortunate to have gotten them at a good price.  However, they have a rustic quality and might not mix with more perfectly made beads.  Without a doubt, they should make good earrings.  If you buy more than one, I will do my best to match them in appearance.
