Red Glass Crystal Beads Rosary Necklace Holy Soil Medal Silver Plated New in Box

I like that this is a very attractive rosary. However the beads are quite dark.At first look I could only make out the color as somewhere between a dark grey andblack. Now, after looking at them under my magnifier as the ceilinglight hit them, a red reflection showed in the center of each bead - - but still of course,aside from that they don't look all that red when I view them without magnificationI know that guys are supposed to be color blind but I have a feeling that my perceptionis accurate in this case.Still, although the item is beautiful, the beads' shade is nothing like the picture onAmazon's product page . . .
