Great old white opaque that allows just the tiniest bit of light to transmit through, so it isn't that flat, chalky white but it's more of a milk white. So it presents as more of a softer white than a flat opaque white.
There are 50 intact hanks and 52 broken hanks in bags. I will sell the intact hanks first. The size of ONE HANK is shown wrapped around a penny.
The size is 1.2-1.3 mm and 36 beads per inch. The hanks intact are approximately 10" long x 4 strands laid flat, but there is some variation in length. They weigh an average of 2.9 grams each.
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! Contact me if you need something you don't see in my listings.
