French beads offered in 30 gram bags. This is a rare color, a pale transparent smoky blue with a tiny hint of purple, it was hard to catch that tiny bit of purple in most lighting. The first photo shows it better than the others.

These are 1.9 mm and 17 beads per inch.

I have over 100 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.

Shoppers, please choose each item and hit "Add To Cart" (instead of "Buy it Now", which incurs multiple shipping charges) then return to shopping, and do this with each item you want to purchase, then go to your cart and checkout only once.


I combine shipping! US is $4.00 regardless of weight.

International shipping:  international is $17 and I pay the difference out of pocket unless it's going to cost significantly more, in which case I will contact you to decide what to do. 

Do not freak out if the international tracking is intermittent. The packages do get there, but Ebay sends things to their hub first, and then the tracking carrier often changes and it may appear that your package is not moving. Customs may hold your order as well. 

I am not responsible for postal service or customs issues, you will need to contact Ebay and the carrier whose tracking is provided to you when you placed your order.
