As I am starting to photograph my stock to post as many items as possible on my new web page, I stumble once and again on so many -- mostly glass -- beads I cannot properly identify.
I am showing here a group of those most intriguing. I am sure they are not uncommon at all, it is just my ignorance!
Please help me to classify them.

The first one is 14 x 14,5 mm
