There are 3 teardrop beads & 2 lentil beads in this set. They were made using Elektra Double Helix glass. Depending on how you work it in the flame, you get different colors as you can see. Beautiful mirrored hues of pink, purple, green, gold, etc. The large center teardrop measures 24mm long by 16mm wide at the widest part. The 2 smaller teardrops measure 17mm by 12mm wide. The 2 lentils measure 17mm. Teardrops are top holed...meaning the hole goes from side to side at the narrowest part of the bead.
These beads were wound on a 5/64 mandrel. I like to use this size because the hole is large enough to run a thin chain, leather cord or standard bead wire through them.
From my hands to yours, your beads will arrive safely and wrapped nicely!
All of my beads are annealed in a digitally controlled kiln, cleaned of bead release and inspected. The annealing process allows for these beads to be structurally solid, but they are glass and glass will break if abused. As with all your fine jewelry, handle with care.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to email me and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Thanks so much for looking!
