10mm Topaz Picasso Square Beads [20]

Cost per bead:

22 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

10mm (long) x 10.5mm (wide) x 5mm (thick) squares.

Colors/description:

Clear or topaz beads with a mottle brown "picasso" coating.  Most beads also have a blue picasso coating on part of the bead.  Please note that I am pretty sure that the topaz color is in the coating rather than the glass, but I am not sure.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

An occasional bead is not perfectly square.  I am eliminating those beads when I see them, but they are not always obvious.  (Because these are premium beads, I inspect them before shipping.)  If you receive an imperfect bead, please contact me for a pro-rated refund.

How photographed:

Between two daylight-balanced lamps.  I took new pictures in December, 2016.

Comments:

Amazingly, I'm restocking a bead that I first stocked seven years ago.  It rarely happens that there is such a long break between postings.  These beads were popular and sold well.  In fact, I'd do well to post more square beads.  I took new photographs of the beads which are more accurate.  The new beads seem to have more blue in the picasso coating (the blue doesn't show up well in the picture, but it's there).  The price has gone up, but only by one cent per bead.  NOTE:  These beads are essentially the same as the newer G2342 beads, except those beads have more blue and green in the picasso coating.
