Orisha Oko takes a pink often called "dusty rose" this pink is difficult to find as the process to make that color in glass uses real gold. In the absence/shortage of real dusty rose Czech beads, many artificial pinks are used in its place. these are often coated in the inside or outside of the bead and wash off. Other beads from China are neon pink, and they give orisha beadwork a tacky or disco quality to it. Something, I am definitely not in favor of. The pink beads you see in these photos for Orisha Oko is the true "dusty rose" and currently costs about $60 for half a kilo/ 1 pound of beads.
