These chandeliers are fantastic!  Not sure who named them mini because they are very large, which is exactly what I needed.  The beads are a gray color and knotted with twine which is an interesting detail that you can't really see in the image.  They do only have one light bulb which could be a bummer if you need more light, but this was perfect for our needs.  I paired two of these together and LOVE the look!
