Beadaholique Czech Pressed Glass 25-Piece Round Melon Beads, 8mm Diameter, Aquamarine Celsian

Very pretty

I bought these beads for Mala making and loved the end product. I made several Mala necklaces with these beads for friends and family and would have kept buying them. (A traditional Mala has 108 beads.) I am concerned the price doubled overnight. While they were a reasonable buy for glass beads in the $5 range for 25, at $11 for 25 beads I am better served buying semi precious stone beads which typically have 48 beads on a strand for $11 or less per strand. I encourage the seller to reconsider the pricing as I can’t see paying $44+ for 108 glass beads.

In the picture the beads look clear and round. In actuality they are translucent, darker, and they do have the melon indentations in them as a "melon" shaped bead does. I think I relied too much on the picture! They are pricey for their size and quality. Nice, but not as expected.

Very beautiful. Have reordered twice.A little pricey for the number of beads received.

These beads were exactly what I needed to make one of my bracelets. Great value! Love the color and good quality!!

These melon beads are very nice. I came back for a second purchase of the yellow melon beads. Like this company.

Very pretty, but smaller than I thought. I wish the companies that sell the beads include in their pictures, a sample in their hand. I have ordered 3 sets of beads and they are all smaller than I thought they would be. Just a tad bit disappointed.

These are very pretty beads. They are a little smaller than I thought, but that was no problem. I find it is important to look at the size listed, rather than the picture, as an indicator. I made a lovely necklace by pairing these with other Czech beads, using light sapphire blue flat rounds, light green twisted ovals, and several colors of Japanese seed beads. One of the really nice features of these beads is that they look more green or slightly blue, depending on the color of the beads that are next to them. I would highly recommend these.

These beads are gorgeous. One bead alone in a piece of beadwork makes a great effect. Pricey but keep an eye out for deals!

I was surprised at the size as I was expecting bigger beads. The colour is very pretty with a tint of iridescence.

Smaller than I had expected and not smooth like I had expected. Still quite pretty.

Exactly what I wanted !

Very happy with these beads. Well made glass beads with a very nice finish. Exactly as listed!
