Description: Greasy green, meaning that it allows some like to pass through the bead, like polished jade. There is no applied finish or oily property to it. Greasy beads are an antique type of bead that is rare and beautiful! The color is one that could be used as a rich mint, like spearmint, or jade, or a leaf green. Beads measure 30 beads per inch, 1.3-1.4 millimeters, and the hanks are 6" long with three loops tied together= 6 strands when laid flat. Hanks weigh an average of 3 grams each. See video and photos for composite of what the color looks like in various lighting. 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.
