Description
This is a lot of antique micro seed beads in mixed colors and sizes. The sizes range from about 15/0 down to 18/0, and the colors are a random mix of mostly yellows with some maroon, pink, white, red, purple, blue, and green mixed in.
This a great mix for doll makers, earring makers, and anyone who does small projects. You’ll have some sorting to do, but you’ll get a nice collection of colors and sizes for a great price!

These old Italian glass micro beads were manufactured between the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s. Tiny seed beads like these allow for incredible detail & resolution. Because they were handmade over 100 years ago, they’ll show greater variance in size and shape than contemporary beads.
They are very, VERY small beads – like the size of a grain of sand! I recommend them for experienced beadworkers, extremely patient people, or those who enjoy a good challenge.
When strung, there are about 30-34 beads per inch. You can choose between a 10 gram bag or a 1 ounce bag. A 10 gram bag has approximately 4400 beads, a 1 ounce bag has roughly 12,300 beads.
