Original Message: Layered 5-sided "Satina" ruby glass bead |
---|
Vintage beads, apparently long out of production. While I was stringing some in sunlight, I noticed that the outer layer of glass is actually colorless. Under magnification, there appear to be 5 layers - ruby, ruby, colorless, ruby,and colorless. When split, the junction between layers appears sort of milky (see vertical lines in photo of split bead). All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
