Size/shape: |
6mm (thick) x 9mm (wide) faceted rondelles (rondelles are round beads which are wider than they are long). This shape is called the "gemstone" shape by many other sellers. |

Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
Defects: | I haven't noticed any significant defects. However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets. |
How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
This is an interesting mixture of colors. The picasso coating is not as dark or heavy as it is on other similar beads I have carried. Please note that the light-aqua beads are lighter and paler (i.e., they have less color) than the picture shows. Important: The proportion of colors changes from one strand to the next; you may get more of one color than other colors. These beads were very popular, so I restocked them in April, 2015. |
