Vintage Antique Micro Seed Beads 14/0 Opaque Medium Blue- 5.9g bags

Description: This is an older bead, unsure of age but likely early 1900's, size 14/0 with 25 beads per inch and 1.6 mm diameter. It is an opaque medium blue with a slight purple undertone which varies according to the light. In daylight it looks like a denim blue, but under fluorescent light it leans a little toward periwinkle. Bags weight 5.9 grams each. As an antique beaded purse restorer, I have been buying and selling vintage and antique micro seed beads for over thirty years. I recently bought the last remaining stock of handmade Italian seed beads from Murano, Italy. They are over 100 years old, in tiny sizes from 22/0 to 10/0. I also offer a smaller quantity of antique Czech beads, and the occasional French beads, too. If you are new to old tiny micro seed beads, these will give you more resolution and fine detail in your work, and some of the oldest colors, like true Cheyenne pink, are no longer made. "Greasy" or waxy finish, is not an applied finish but describes the ability of light to pass through the bead--similar to polished jade, it looks like it glows from within. I use Triple 0 Monocord thread, and I sell size 15 beading needles that pass through all of my beads (click link below): Beadsmith Tiny Beading Needles- Size 15/0- 4 Needles per Pack- fits tiniest bead You can purchase multiple beads from me for only one low shipping cost of $3.75 US or $15 international.
