2mm Light amethyst silver lined 2-cut square hole tubes bugles antique Murano glass beads vintage Italian 9/0

10 gram package. Approximately 2 mm each. I love the sparkle and color of these special little purple beads.

In the early 20th century, these rare beads were painstakingly hand manufactured by master craftsmen in the fabled Societa Veneziana Conterie glass factories of Murano, Italy. The slight irregularities in size and shape are an expected and natural result of the production process, which is a lost art.

Nothing shown in the photos other than the beads is included in your purchase.
