Description: This is a very unusual blue-green. The beads are slightly variegated and have an amazing greasy translucent property, see photos with light transmitted through them. Such an interesting antique bead with character. This is a handmade bead well over 100 years old, from Murano, Italy. The size is 1.0 mm average, and 35 beads per inch. This is offered in hanks that weigh approximately 2.4 grams each, some less and some weigh more. The hanks consist of four loops tied together, measuring almost 5.5" long as tied. I have over 200 listings (and more in stock) of antique and vintage seed beads from Murano, Italy, the Czech Republic, and France. Most are Italian, handmade and over 100 years old. I've been working with tiny antique seed beads as a beaded purse restorationist for over 30 years. If you want more depth, definition and rarity in your bead work, they tiny beads are wonderful. They are great for Native American beadwork, beaded flowers on wire, restoring vintage or antique clothing or reproductions, and for creating legacy jewelry and other pieces with finishes, colors and sizes no longer made!
