Teardrop Red Czech Glass Beads

I bought these beads as they are uranium glass and I wanted a dish or jar of them in my UV rective glass display. They glow very brightly under 365nm UV and really catch the eye. As far as the beads themselves, they have excellent clarity and uniformity of size. The color, both under normal light and Uv, is excellent. These were a fun addition to my display and one could make nice jewelry from it as well. First pic is just these beads. Second one is these beads on top of some Michael's crafts UG beads.

These little guys are GORGEOUS. Perfect for what I needed them for, and a great value based on trying to purchase similar items from a jewelry making supply website. The size is spot on. And the finish on them catches the light nicely. I DID have to use a pearl-borer to ever-so-gently make the holes FRACTIONALLY bigger for what I wanted to use them for, but I don't blame the manufacturer for that, I blame myself for trusting that someone else knew the dimensions of their jump rings.

Beautiful little tear drop beads with rich, brilliant red color. Well made and easy to use.

Fast delivery. Great product. Glow like crazy even under a weak UV light. They're also radioactive to 3-4X the ambient background. Highly recommend.

I guess I should pay better attention to sizes! They’re beautiful, but very tiny! Great addition to jewelry, very pretty finish/quality. Large variety of colors in the pack I purchased.

Our youngest daughter asked me to make earrings that would look like pomegranate seed earrings. These beads were shipped incredibly quickly - I received them in one day. They're beautiful and look juicy, just like pomegranate seeds. I'm very happy with them and our daughter is happy with them, so it's a win. I would like to order top drilled beads because wrapping briolette shaped beads that are horizontally drilled requires quite a bit of wire. The more wire you use, the heavier the jewelry. That aside I'm very happy with these beads and would definitely recommend them. They're also very reasonably priced, so I have no complaints.

Wanted to check a Geiger counter that I use to test natural rocks. These beads gives ~10X higher count than background and glows immensely under UV light.

Glows nicely under UV, although if it contains any uranium I would be shocked.

These tears are so pretty, perfect size for jewelry. I love it.

The dark colour, the size and sheen were excellent. Ordered more right away.

Echt cool

Arrived safely, thank you!

Arrivato puntuale e consegnato con cura, pacchetto ben imballato. Il colore è piuttosto sul verde, non corrisponde al turchese indicato nella descrizione, comunque è bellissimo. Da valutare la resa dato che le perle sono piccoline. Prezzo abbastanza buono.
