VERY RARE size 16-18/0 fiber optic tubes. First photo is inside, the others are outdoors.  They look whiter indoors.  They are a bit whiter than the last batch I had, and these are a bit smaller.  They are not snow white, though.  They still have a bit of an antique aged patina.  Handmade circa 1920. These are 1.2-1.3 millimeters. Perfect for jewelry, antique beaded purse repairs, doll costumes, clothing, and beaded flowers among other wonderful crafts you can make with these. When you use these in your projects, you are adding a legacy quality.

These are small hanks, the size ranges from 2-2.25 inches each, and the beads stack at 22 beads per inch, approximately. The hanks consist of four tied loops, providing eight strands of beads and approximately 350-400 beads per hank. Because they are so small, I have reduced the price to enable you to buy multiple hanks.  There are 40 total, split between here and etsy.  Two of them are broken hanks in small bags.

This is all I have left of the teeny tiny antique fiber optic beads. The others have sold out very quickly. Make sure you understand how small these are, I do not accept returns.

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.
