VINTAGE BRASS BEADS ETCHED METAL 10mm pkg 6 1960 M57
Description
Vintage raw brass beads that have developed a beautiful patina over the years while they've been stored in my studio. This bead is the same bead as M-34 except that those are more of a true 'brass' color.This M-57 does have the same 'sparkle' that M-34 has but for some reason I wasn't able to capture it while photographing them. They do NOT have a dull surface.
Like those beads,we found these brass beads over 25 years ago at an outdoor market in Ventimiglia , Italy while on our way to Nice, France in 1980. I was always looking for interesting beads with LOTS of texture to incorporate into the beaded necklaces I was designing for the Smithsonian.
This bead has a graceful 'lip' around each hole and a delicate design etched on it which is what drew me to it immediately! I've never seen beads like this since finding them so many years ago.
I love the delicate ribbed texture on these beads!
Price is for 6 of these 10mm beads and I 100% guarantee them to be vintage from the 1960's.
I sold many of these brass beads in trunk shows at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue during the 1980's .
You'll never see beads like this nowadays at your neighborhood "gem show"!
