Comments: |
These beads are really lovely. In bright light, they are very milky and pastel, and in lower light they are a rich lavender or violet. This is one of the few beads I have seen that looks as good in low light as in bright light (low light, not darkness). My picture shows the beads about midway between the two extremes.
