| Style: | G2072 |
| Beads per lot: | 25 |
| Cost per bead: | 14.4 cents |
| Bead material: | Glass |
| Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
| Size/shape: | 8mm round with 3 facets or "cuts" around the middle. |
| Colors/description: |
Translucent greenish-aqua with a bronze coating on the round portions of the beads. When I first posted these beads, I thought they were more aqua than teal; but as I've worked with them, they appear more teal than aqua, so I changed the name. |
| Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: |
Some slight imperfections can be seen in the facets (specifically, shallow ridges can be seen on some facets), but that is normal for Czech faceted beads. I also noticed an occasional nick or small pit. |
| How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
| Comments: |
I was absolutely certain that I had carried these beads before in the 8mm size, but I could only find a record of having carried them in the 6mm size, so this counts as a new style. I purchased these beads from a new supplier, and I believe they are from a different manufacturer from which I got similar beads in the past. Despite what I say under "Defects" above, I think they are well made. I should point out that these 3-cut beads have deeper "cuts" than other beads that I have carried in the past, so they appear triangular when looked at from above. My picture is not very good. The beads come in little bunches which makes them hard to photograph. In the future, I will strip them off their strands and photograph them loose. One more thing: This new supplier has substantially higher prices than my other suppliers have for similar beads, but they also have more colors. I managed to bargain their price down, but I may not always be able to do that. Future shipments of this bead may be more expensive, so my price may be higher. |
