Coating thickness varies slightly per bead. Most beads appear predominately silver metallic in color with pink showing through the layers of finish only when back lit. Care must be taken in the daily use of coated beads. Some minor flaking of coating is to be expected.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*** Mercury finished beads are sometimes referred to as silver washed or Farmers' Silver. They are non-toxic and do not actually contain mercury. These beads are named after a process of glass blowing first introduced in the 1800s that resulted in producing glass with a silvery mirror like finish. The process used today is nothing like the vintage mercury glass technique. It is a finish coating placed on the bead during the production process which creates a very similar resemblance to the original 1800s vintage look!***\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003eThese smooth pressed glass drops are made from quality Czech glass! They are best suited for applications that involve stringing beads directly unto stringing materials or light weight wire in beaded jewelry designs. Wire wrapping and jump rings are not recommended to attach this type of bead unless you are using a fine gauge wire and are experienced with wire wrapping.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e *See \"Policies \u0026amp; FAQ\" section for further information on sizing and other topics. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evemporiumco.com\/pages\/policies-faq\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/evemporiumco.com\/pages\/policies-faq\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehttps:\/\/evemporiumco.com\/pages\/policies-faq\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"EV Emporium Co","offers":[{"title":"20","offer_id":44271946367144,"sku":"0EVE1431-20","price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60","offer_id":44271946399912,"sku":"0EVE1431-60","price":6.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/2405\/0088\/files\/IMG_6312EtsyOUT.jpg?v=1689263166","url":"https:\/\/empiriabeads.com\/products\/6x9mm-side-drilled-teardrops-mercury-glass-on-pink-glass-drop-bead-0eve1431","provider":"Empiria Beads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
