Description: Really amazing old tiny tube-shaped beads, millimeters are 1.4-1.6 so I am sizing them at 14/0. The lining inside the beads is silver-colored, I don't know if it's "real silver" or some other substance but it has varying degrees of oxidation and it really lovely. The first photo is in indoor light, second is outside. The hanks are two loops that measure 9.75 inches long as tied. I have a limited quantity of these. They remind me of the tube beads I have seen on antique dresses and beaded flapper dresses and would be perfect for doll costumes or restoring vintage and antique clothing or costume work. 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!
