Translucent yellow green vintage Chinese wound beads. 1950's. 9-10mm round beads with 1mm hole. These are handmade beads and may vary slightly in size and shape. These beads are popularly called Peking glass but are not true Peking glass. These have the distinctive soft colors and bubbles of old Chinese glass made in Boshan, Shandong province in China. Package of 10
I really like the matrices in Hubei turquoise and these don't disappoint. The range of colors is really nice. I have combined these beads with shell heishi (also available from Earthly Adornments), silver and carnelian, the result is stunning (friend's opinion). Next project will be with citrine and brass. They are very versatile.
This is the second or third time I have purchased this bead. It is very unique and works well with lots of colors and styles. I made a bracelet last month with several of these beads in it. I did not even get a chance to list the bracelet, someone bought it off my arm (I test drive my pieces).
I highly recommend it as I do working with Earthly Adornments - they are professional, very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an excellent supply of vintage and antique beads.
