Description: Lovely old pearl seed bead, a greasy finish (meaning that it allows some light to pass through the bead, not that it's oily!) and of course it has a pearl luster finish. Estimated to be about 120 years old. This is available in 8" hanks consisting of two loops tied together. The size is 1.3-1.4 mm, and 29 beads per inch. I have another pearl seed bead I am listing at the same time, that is slightly smaller and a bit more beige/creamier color. You can find that one here: RARE Antique Micro Seed Beads-16-18/0 Greasy Cream Pearl Luster Aged Beige White I bought out the remaining stock from my supplier who had shipped over the contents of an old Murano, Italy bead warehouse, where artisans made these beads by hand from the 1800's to 1940. Once I sell this color I won't ever be able to get it again because it is no longer made. I combine shipping! Place each item in your cart by hitting "add to cart" not "buy it now".
