Description: Rich dark red purple, transmits a small amount of light through the bead ("greasy") but looks opaque in regular light. The hanks are 10" long with six strands. See photos #2-3 to understand the size of ONE HANK. The beads are 1.5-1.7 mm diameter and 25 beads per inch as strung. Hanks weigh approximately 6 grams each.These are all pre-1940, likely to be pre-1900, from Murano Italy. The threads are delicate but seem to be strong. See photos.I have over 300 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!
