Vintage Glass Trade Bead 19 inch Necklace.

I acquired these glass Trading Beads in 1990. The strand is 19 inches long including the barrel lock and there are 53 beads in the strand.

The photos are of lot (A-5), and the colors on the photo look about right. they show front and back of the necklace. I turned the beads over for photo 2

I have several strands and a number of loose beads. While no two necklaces are exactly alike, and no two beads are exactly alike, the same type beads are in each strand.   They are vintage glass beads and some of them may have tiny nicks – I’ll will specify them when i see them.

But please NOTE to check them carefully and file down any sharp edges you might find, before wearing them. I go over them with a magnifying lens but I could easily miss something. After all, they are glass, so be careful with them!!

Check them out in + magnification, and if you have any questions, message me.

I began selling gems and minerals and studying gemology in the late 1980’s. I traveled around the states with gem/mineral and craft shows for a couple of years before settling in Gainesville, FL where I opened a shop called The White Cloud. In 1992, I got a job counseling, packed all the store stuff away and forgot about it until now. What a surprise to find these beautiful crystals and minerals after all that time…
