Thanks Jamey.Is this bead hot tumbled or done via the pan method ? Or can't you tell from my pictures ? Most drawn beads that I have come across have rough sharp ends.This tends to leave many w chipped ends from age & wear.These ends are rounded smooth.I have newer Venetian gooseberry beads that are drawn beads. One strand has the smooth rounded ends & the beads from strand 2 have the straight sharper ends.This leaves me to conclude something extra was done to get the smoothed ends.(the five layer & the gooseberry bds).
