Most everything I list is antique and/or vintage. But I love Victorian Era the most.  I like variety and I love beautiful things, but I love useful things just as much. BUT I love to find rare /hard to find items.

Because most of my items are over 100 years old expect to see some age-related wear or a little imperfection here/there. Nothing more than what you would expect to see (actually, want to see to confirm age). Anything more I will point out in the pictures or the condition info.

I am so honored that you are looking at one of my items. As I tend to say a lot….it means the world to me!


The item listed today is:    

I was blessed to get some amazing antique / vintage beads from a NY estate / designer’s life time collection. Some I’ve never seen before but all are like new old stock, most were never yet made in to jewelry. Some where in process. I will tell you as much as I know on each listing. But, please note, I’m not an expert in beads I was just blessed to be able to get a wonderful collection (almost 70 pounds of beads and other misc pieces).

The notes / information from where I got them said they’re from the 1920’s to 80’s. There is uranium, venetian glass, art glass, real amber (glows under a black light) beautiful different color quartz and jade, black coral, wedding cake, trade beads, just every beautiful bead you can think of.  I hope you’ll enjoy looking at them. PLEASE, PLEASE educate me if I’ve misidentified something.  I would love that. And finally,  If you have a certain bead you’re looking for, please send me a message and I’ll see if it’s in the group.

Thank you again for looking at one of my items.

SHIPPING   - PLEASE NOTE.....I (USUALLY) USE USPS GROUND OR FIRST CLASS IF UNDER A POUND. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THE PACKAGE ALL THE WAY. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY AND HAVE ME PUT YOUR ITEM IN AN ENVELOPE (DEPENDING ON SIZE) AND SHIP WITHOUT TRACKING, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL CHANGE SHIPPING OPTIONS FOR YOU.  IT COULD SAVE APPROX 2-3 DOLLARS, BUT REMEMBER WE WOULD HAVE NO TRACKING ON THE ITEM.  EITHER WAY IS GOOD WITH ME. ALSO, I USE USPS 100 DOLLAR INSURANCE FOR MOST PACKAGES. IF YOU WANT TO UPGRADE TO A HIGHER AMOUNT, DO NOT PAY UNTIL I ADJUST FOR THE DIFFERENCE.  IF YOU PAY WITHOUT COMMUNICATION, I'LL ASSUME THAT YOU'RE OK WITH THE 100 DOLLAR INSURANCE COVERAGE.  I THINK THAT'S ALL THE SHIPPING STUFF, EGADS, MY HAND IS POOPED :) 

I use USPS, and shipping is determined by weight and address. I do not add any handling fee or other nuisance fee.  If you would like a different shipper, please let me know asap.
