I have long admired the look of these beads.

The Silver Lined Alabaster gives a delicate glow to the whole, a translucent beauty.

The color is dyed on top of the bead, and as with all dyed beads, they come with the warning that if rubbed hard the color might come off. I have tried this -- rubbed with my fingers, washed them, and rubbed some more. I feel safe saying that if you treat them with the same care that you give all of your hand made items, they will serve you well.

This one is a Dyed Rose, almost a fuchsia in its richness.

Packaged in containers with about 35 grams each -- there are approximately 12 beads per gram so figure you'll get about 420 beads per container.
