Vintage Japanese pearls, about 55-60 years old. Several co-ordinating shades of silver, the mix is 90% glass with a small bit of MOD cultura in the same shades, mixed in. Also in the mix is a bit of crystal/heliotrope vintage glass faceted beads, half-coats. Some how that bit of colored glass just adds even more glow and more design possibilities as well. Japanese glass pearls are the best you can buy, vintage even better. The price here is very low, and this is all I found in my bead room...so when they are gone, that will be it for silver Japanese pearls. Generous 4 ounce packages, 4-14mm, don't miss this offering while we have it.
