FREE: 4x3mm swarovski rondell glass beads (25)

Are you sure this is swaroski? The color palette for reds are siam, ruby, and dark red coral which all do come in AB but do not look purple. Also, swarovski are precision cut which makes all the facets meet evenly. Some of the facets look off placed so could you please put up a closer picture of one bead to verify that they are all precise. Finally, the all the holes on swarovski are precisely cut to be even and smoothed, so they should all be uniform. Could you please place a picture of 5 of the beads demonstrating this? Thank you.

I have to differ with your supplier who has sold you these as genuine Swarovski. Swarovski does not sell 'red ab' and the siam AB does not look like this. Siam is their version of red and is labeled as siam. Also, Swarovski beads are sold loose and only time they would come on a string as pictured is if someone took the time to do so. As it is a supplier, more than likely they would not, but anything is possible.

You have to be careful because there are a large number of suppliers selling imitation beads and claiming them to be Swarovski. All Swarovski is percision cut using specialized equipment. Swarovski only comes in a limited amount of colors and many suppliers are even selling colors of beads that swarovski does not make such as this purple color. I would ask your supplier for verification that it is swarovski such as the packing slip.
