The beads are exactly as pictured except a bit more rustic. Some beads have faded paint in areas that give it an antiqued, hand painted look. So, some of the beads are less vibrant in person. As for the pattern drawn on the beads, it is as pictured and some cases more detailed. The shape is oval and consistent not irregular. Overall, an elegantly designed product.
