Medium to dark bottle blue, some might call cobalt.  This has a slight matte finish, not like the modern frosty applied finishes, but more of a subtle "not glossy" slightly flat finish.  It is transparent.   Please note that the amount you receive is shown in the second and third photo, wrapped around a penny.  I only show the larger amount so you can see the color more clearly as a mass of beads.

Beads measure 1.5-1.6 mm and 25 beads per inch strung.  The hanks are four strands of strung beads, approximately 9.75" long.  

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.
