This is the dark aqua Effetre, and I think the silver leaf applied in a layer over the whole bead and melted in gently shields it somehow from too much contact with the dark ivory to change to green. I've made beads like this before and more than likely overheated too much and the green showed up in places.
Here is another set when I use a regular ivory base bead, then swizzles of silvered ivory stringer, and the dark aqua swizzles over that. Here it turns a jade green. More direct contact with ivory so the color change.
