Vintage West German rose bud beads, soft blue, pretty pink, with green leaves. These are lamp, or lampwork beads, and they are handmade. It is harder and harder to find the beautiful old ones like this. Be sure to click on every picture to examine all of the angles. There is a little bit of controlled bubble in them as they are also cased glass. That's normal and part of their charm! Be prepared to fall in love! We have a good many just now but the stash is not limitless. I can tell you with confidence that my price is about half of what it ought to be for a big 14mm bead like this, made by hand, about 50 years old. And when they are gone, who knows when I will find such gorgeous beads again. Great for making earrings, adding to bracelets, as necklace stations or even pendants. Measures 14mm. Sold by the piece.
