Description:
These beads have been in storage at least 15 years; inventory old-stock never used. I believe they are antique; however, I am not an expert in this type of bead and don't know exactly how old they might be. These beads are handmade from glass with some variations in shape/color that are typical for this material. They are temporarily strung on some type of natural fiber cord. The color is a "milk glass" type of white more on the gray-blue than bright white.
Size:
varies - some are single but some are two or three fused together. Appx 33.7grams total
Wear:
Slight signs of wear are considered typical for authentic vintage pieces, such as light surface scratches or patina. This type of normal wear attests to an item's age and adds to its vintage charm and character.  M
any "old stock" stones are now considered rare or hard to obtain because of their quality and/or origin.
