February 16, 2010: We feel so fortunate when we are able to find antique French metal beads; more so when we find them in colors other than steel, brass, and bronze [although we like those too !] Our searches have recently brought us several color mixes in different sizes. Metalmix 25 is mostly red beads size 20/0 and the other beads are 19/0. Metalmix 30 is sizes 15/0-16/0 in colors pink, olivine, and brass and shaped like 2-cut beads. Not faceted. Metalmix 33 is size 20 with approximately 75% of the beads being red'ish shades and 25% brass, purple, and green. Metalmix 34 beads are size 16/0-18/0 and many colors. Some of the 18/0 beads are faceted. If you use these nice little [with big holes] beads check them out on our Antique bead page.

Beautiful 1930's pink 5mm to 6mm Japanese beads. These are for beaders who can use beads that are slightly inconsistently shaped. Now, we surely understand the need for uniformity and consistently shaped beads in your artwork most of the time. But, these beads are so beautiful in their uniqueness we loved them ! They come to us in 21" strands and some of them still bear the old paper labels which they began using in Japan in 1921. The dimpling and slight inconsistent shaping of the beads lead us to believe the manufacturing process could have still involved some hand work in the cutting and finishing process. They are not like the machine made modern Japanese beads. These are nicely made older Japanese beads, made at a time when red and pink beads were made with some gold to enhance the richness of the colors.
