Super rare 1800's- early 1900's 7-10 mm yellow- orange butterscotch matte finish white hearts in packs of 4 beads. They average 8-10 mm diameter wide (there are a few slightly smaller) and 5-7 mm high.
These beads are quite rare and highest quality. I obtained them from the assistant to the woman who brought them over from Italy in crates across the sea in the 1960's, when she found the bead artisan warehouse in Murano. These beads were made in the late 1800-early 1900's and never circulated!
How often do you actually know the provenance of the beads you purchase?
These whitehearts are scarce, but I have a nice range of sizes and colors, including some Crow beads. It may take a while to get all of them listed so message me if there is a particular color (ex: pony trader blue or rose pink whitehearts) or size you seek ( ex: 11-12/0, 8-10/0, 6-8mm, 18 mm and more sizes are available).
I have been collecting and selling antique beads for 40 years as a beaded purse expert and restorationist via my website beadedpurserepair.com. I am located in the United States and obtained my entire inventory from US sellers, the majority coming from the woman who brought these beads over from Murano.
