Description
Selling these 25" strands of Mixed Antique Red White Hearts, the beads are mixed Venetian Czech and French, mixed shades of red: Fire engine Red, Blood Red, Ruby red, orange red, and pinkish red. 4-2mm in diameter, 3mm avg size. $30 per strand. They make great gifts and are great for beading design projects. The Venetian ones are extremely rare collectors beads because they predate modern methods of making red glass. They are early 19th century nearly 200 year old beads. At that time they had to make red color with a process that used gold in the glass mix which was expensive, limiting the number of beads they could manufacture to low amounts. Cash only
