It's a lot of fun to match the elegance of a lentil shape with the flashiness of bright, cheerful colors.  There's something very sophisticated yet playful about this set. 8 super fun lampwork beads with streaks of bold colors ~ juicy orange, robin's egg blue & cherry red on a background of jet black & encased in clear to enhance the stripes & create a polished finish.  Lentils measure 16 x 9 mm & the "lifesaver" leading the procession is 21 x 7 mm.  The entire strand marches along at 6 inches.
