5mm Mixed Luster Pinched Oval Beads [100]

Style:  G1870
 
Beads per lot:  100

Cost per bead:  3.5 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  5mm angular ovals with 3 sides; each side has a ridge in the center.  Imagine 3-sided bicones, and you'll get an idea of the shape of these beads.

Colors/description:  A mixture of light translucent colors with a luster coating.  The luster coating is mottled brown on some of the beads, slightly golden on some of the beads, and uncolored on others.  The colors include light pink, olive green, blue, lavender and other colors.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  Not having made jewelry for 25 years, I'm not sure how my customers use the 5mm pinched ovals, but they have proved to be popular.
