6mm Light Aqua-Lined Pony Beads [50] (see Defects)
Style: |
G2217 |
Beads per lot: |
50 |
Cost per bead: |
4 cents |
Bead material: |
Glass |
Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
4mm (thick) x 6mm (wide) "pony" beads, with a large hole through the center. The term "pony", I believe, comes from the shape of the bead that is sometimes put over the top of a pony's tail. |
Colors/description: |
Clear beads with a light aqua or light teal paint in the holes (see Comments below). |
Hole size: |
2mm to 2.5mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
Some of the beads have paint on them where it doesn't belong. I estimate that no more than 5% of the beads have defects (5% is my cut-off for what I consider to be a reasonable level of defects). The paint in lined beads can eventually disintegrate and fall out of the holes, but that will take many years. |
How photographed: |
Under daylight-balanced lamps. (Using two lamps to photograph beads leaves two bright light reflections on each bead, but that can't be helped.) |
Comments: |
The beads in the picture that look clear are the ones that are lying on their holes. The ones that look aqua are the ones that are lying on their sides; which allows you to see the paint. |
