This uniquely patterned strand of round glass beads is made using traditional methods used to create powder glass beads. The procedure for making the beads consists of a number of steps whereby powdered glass is poured into molds of clay and baked in a specialized oven. Individual beads measure 14-16 x 18-20mm and have a hole size of approximately 3-4mm. Each strand measures approximately 28". Style of fuse may vary slightly from strand to strand as shown in different photos. Some strands may show higher concentration of blue lines than others. • MADE OF TOP QUALITY Glass • WHOLESALE VALUE: You receive a full 28" strand which consists of approximately 40 beads.
