Czech Glass Kelp Green Mix w/ Picasso Grooved Rectangle

These Czech glass beads feature a bright green color with pink and brown highlights that give them a brilliant appearance. This surface coloration comes from the Picasso finish, and will make them perfect for any design that needs a touch of drama. They are enhanced with a pattern of grooves in the surface of the beads which allow color to settle, giving them an aged look. Use these beads in necklaces, earrings, bracelets or embellishment for an antiqued look.

Date:August 27, 2011
Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality, Color, add even more colors!!
Cons: Price
Other beading styles or techniques: I love a victorian look, vintage. Stringing beads
Creation: Industrial look necklace
"All of these beads were so much fun to work with. I love the fact that they are versatile, but they can be used for my first attempt of a steampunkt look.
They have many different colors to work with, which was a big factor. The price is good, since I am on a limited budget. And they really seem to be quite sturdy.
They tie in real well with my antiqued brass products.
Which sort of adds a bit of nostalgia. But I guess an industrial effect. That's the key word, industrial.
Will send pic as soon as I can get it finished up.
Thank you so much for these wonderful products, at super prices!!!

Cons: Color
"I bought several colors of the czech picasso glass beads and they appear more brillant on the screen than they do in person. They make up well with other beads but the color (at least the ones I received) are not as brightly colored"

Disappointing
Date:October 29, 2010
Pros: Price, Size
Cons: Quality, Color, Fragile, Ease of Use
"Very disappointing. The color is nothing like what it looks in the picture online; more like a weathered broken glass. This is the first time I will have to return the item."

Inaccurate color

"The picture doesn't represent the color of these beads accurately. They are more solid dark green - not as pretty as the picture."

Colors not accurate

Pros: Price, Size
Cons: Color
"I ordered 3 different colors of this style bead. This particular color doesn't look like the pictures shown. The color is a blackish green and not what I was expecting. I won't be using it as planned."
