These long oval beads have a hole that goes down the centre through the longest length. This is a real focal bead. Each bead weighs about 4 grams, so it's a real statement piece. The etching is 5 lines around one half of the bead, and then another 5 lines offset on the other half of the bead.
Circa: 1980-1990s
Measurements: 30mm long and about 15mm wide with a 1.5mm threading hole.
Quantity per pack: 10
Please note: For the matte gold styles, I would not recommend these for hard wear areas where the coating can be chipped away.
This whole range of vintage Bohemian look beads is from stock we scored at a warehouse clearance haul years and years ago! In recent years some of the styles of beads in this range have been reproduced in cheaper plastic materials. You will notice the difference in the quality if you compare the feel of the bead, as well as the weight. Ours are made from lucite, with a beautiful matte metallic coating and are classed as Vintage Beads.
