8mm Czech fire polished garnet red AB beads will make your creations sparkle! Translucent dark red round faceted glass beads have an aurora borealis coating, perfect for jewelry making. These small iridescent beads are just slightly oval (8mm long, about 7.5mm wide) and have an approximate hole size of 1.25mm (a tiny bit too small for 16 gauge wire). They were manufactured in the Czech Republic prior to 2006 and are uncirculated warehouse stock (new old stock, a.k.a. NOS), just waiting for a chance to shine as spacers or the main attraction in beaded jewelry, rosaries, patriotic decorations, Valentine's Day gifts, or Christmas ornaments. Lot Size: 50 beads
