Rich bright opaque greasy (meaning that when held up to light, a small amount of light transmits through the bead) lipstick red. It is an apple/cherry red, neutral to blue undertone, not an orange undertone. A really versatile color. The beads are 1.3-1.4 mm diameter, size 16/0. They have a bit more height to them than the super flat ones.
There is a big discount available on this bead if you buy it in bulk, that link is available here:
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! Contact me if you need something you don't see in my listings.
