Found in a thrift store, so I have no background info. I really like the black, imitation "Venetian" beads, they even used a speckled, multi-colored glass slurry to give the banding on the black beads the look of aventurine without any sparkles. The translucent blue glass beads have the color of bottle glass, which makes me wonder if these could be Kiffa? There are also various Czech beads and some turquoise stone beads in the mix. Can I get some opinions on origin and age? Looking forward to hearing your opinions and thanks in advance for your help. -Melissa All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
