I wish I had looked at this auction for green beads BEFORE I had posted on LBM's question.

I am reasonably sure these green beads are not 'late 1800s 7-layer' Venetian beads.

Their layer number is not clear, and just the fact that there is a group of similar beads (that are so darn WEIRD) is suspicious.

I would have to rethink the "contemporary" issue—but I would still wonder who made them (?).
