This is the most pretty and most unique color of the crystal beads that were made in China round 2009-2013. Red Velvet is the name and it’s appropriate. This color in any size was by far the fastest seller both in bead strands and in our jewelry designs. These were found in some boxes of the remaining components used in our jewelry business from about 15 years ago. My suppliers haven't had this color for several years. They measure about 3mm x 2mm with about a 1mm hole, and the strands are about 15” long. There are approximately 135 beads on each strand. Each order includes 8 strands. Take a look at the photos, they are an important part of the description. Free shipping!
