Highlights
These beautiful vintage glass seed beads are a small size 12/0 in a gorgeous translucent plum purple. This is a dark plummy purple with a brownish undertone. Translucent beads are semi-transparent, with a milky or diffused quality that allows some light to pass through.
MATERIALS, MEASUREMENTS & QUANTITIES
✭ Material = glass
✭ Bead size = 12/0
✭ Quantity = 10 grams
These vintage French seed beads were manufactured in the early 1900’s. These old pinks and purples were especially expensive and difficult to produce, as the recipes for these shades required real gold. The resulting colors are beautiful, rare, and colorfast – meaning they do not fade like dyed beads.
These small beads have about 16-18 beads per inch when strung. The average diameter is about 1.7 – 1.9 mm. Because they were handcrafted so long ago, you’ll notice more size and shape variance than contemporary machine-made beads. These imperfections attest to their handmade nature.
This listing is for 10 grams of beads in the deep purple shade shown in the first 3 photos. In the group photos with a range of purples, this is the darkest shade of purple on the bottom right (letter H).
These photos have been magnified to give a good sense of color and shape; the last picture includes a seed bead size chart for a better sense of scale.
