BEAD COLOR NAME |
Manufacturers commonly give a "name" to glass beads based upon familiar colors and/or pattern characteristics of gemstones and crystals. The "name" is not meant to imply the beads contain, or are made of these materials. Genuine gemstones and crystals will always be clearly noted in description. |
COLOR INTEGRITY |
We are proud to offer a line of glass beads in which 97% of them are pure "colored glass". Manufacturers achieve certain colors and/or effects by "coating" a clear glass bead. We do carry about 1-2% of these "coated" beads. However, All are top quality. |
DARKER COLORS |
A "Garnet color" bead has an inherent characteristic of turning almost black when stored without air or light. After shipping, exposure in a "regular" household environment will return them to their true rich red color. This might apply to other dark colors. |
COLOR CHANGING |
We carry two beautiful "Color Changing" beads in a variety of shapes, styles and sizes. The Swarovski® "Cantaloupe" and the Czech "Alexandrite" beads. Their color will change according to their light source. (sunlight, incandescent, fluorescent, etc.) If you have not yet experienced this visual phenomenon...I highly recommend it! |
