These gorgeous glass beads will create a one of a kind look in your handmade jewelry designs and craft projects. They are VINTAGE from the Dry Gulch Vault and at least 15-20 years old. They at one time had bright silver foil wrapped around each bead, but the foil is falling off and tarnishing, which gives these beads an antiqued effect.
Please note these beads are HOLLOW and can be fragile.
These beads measure 24x12mm and the hole measures about 1.5mm in diameter (the hole size may vary on each bead). There are 6 beads on a strand and each strand measures about 6" inches long. These beads are made of lampworked blown glass and we believe they were made in Venice.
