Original Message:   Re: Bead Names

Hi Luann, Lots of beads do not have specific names. Perhaps most of them. These are squat melon-form glass beads. (That's a description, and not a name.) They have some congruency to what are popularly called "dog tooth" beads—though "dog tooth" beads generally have a crude white band around the equator. This is not a name that I like, and I have no idea where it came from. I think you are correct in describing them as "fluted," "lobed"—and as "squashed pumpkins." Perhaps not their professional name (!). JDA. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
