Style: | G2070 |
Beads per lot: | 20 |
Cost per bead: | 22.5 cents |
Bead material: | Glass |
Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
12mm (long) x 8mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) rectangles with bevelled edges. The sides or "windows" are hand-polished. |
Colors/description: |
Greenish turquoise (i.e., opaque greenish aqua or teal) with a dark-gray charcoal mottled picasso coating on the edges. |
Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
Defects: | I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping. I can't eliminate every bead which has a slight defect, so I use my judgement as to which defects are so serious that the bead can't be used. Certainly, cracks, deep or long scratches, large pits, partially polished sides, large spots of picasso coating on the polished surfaces, and malformations are all enough for me to eliminate a bead. But I may not eliminate a bead if it has a very shallow scratch, small pits, or very small spots of picasso coating on the sides, or other small anomalies that don't ruin the overall appearance (although I often do eliminate such beads). If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them, and you should contact me for a pro-rated refund. |
How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
You may wonder why I have given these beads a new number when I have carried turquoise polished rectangles before. Well, these are the first ones that I have carried that had a charcoal-gray coating on the edges. All others before this have had a brown coating on the edges. My camera made these beads look more of a bluish aqua than they are, and I had to shift the color in my photo-editing program to make them look right. However, it's possible that in some kinds of light, they may look more blue than my picture indicates. |
