These glass beads are so neat - a soft grey from most angles, with a matte plane on two sides, but around the edges they often spark blue and purple fire! (I use sterling silver french hooks by default, but I also stock titanium and surgical steel french hooks, high-quality silver-plated leverback findings, and two kinds of clip-on earring thingies, and you can upgrade to any of those right over here.)
