Occasionally the glass may react differently, thanks to the chemical reactions of the compounds that give the glass color. Each glass bead is handmade from red-hot glass in the open flame and no two glass beads are ever completely alike. This goes for size, coloration, and pattern. As the beads are handmade, there may be slight variations from the bead in the picture. If you don't like the bead you receive, you have 30 days from the day you receive the bead to return it.
