Hey guy's. I need some help with these.
I got these because the clasp was attatched like I would do it. and it was cheep.
The beads are, I think Hill tribe. That's cool and the glass ones
are 13x8mm's. Still some small release residuals but not a lot or really white.
I thought these were Venetian( when I bought them) but know better now.
Do you think these are from Asia or indies?
Early 1900's or late 1900's ????
What say ye ?

To me they look to be mid 1900's Made in Japan beads.

Japan.....Duh
I didn't even consider Japan.
Thanks for the course correction.
They do look very nice though. I ware these myself.
Thanks for the help.

Bead cool all

This is one of my first pigeons. Ziggy-Beak Biggy
She still comes around to nest.
They are some of the ugliest birds around...a face only a mother can love.
She has some beads around her ankle so she is always in style when she is out flying with her posse.
Right now I am getting 4 baby chickens ready to meet my other three.
Fresh eggs....you can't beat that.

SEE YA AT THE FORUM....Cpt. Longline

Some of the first "nice" beads I bought looked a lot like this, only they were round black translucent glass, about 10-12mm. It was before I knew anything about trade beads, canes, etc.

I think I was told at some point they were Japanese. Glad to know that was true!
