Made in West Germany. These vintage glass beads were produced in the late 1970's. With a smooth round shape, each bead is pressed from moonstone crystal glass. They were then frosted, creating a rich, matte finish that draws out the color effect even more. Sold loose. Since these beads are made from mixed glass rods, each one is unique and you should expect some variation in color, etc. Note: These beads have not been tested for lead and should not be used in products intended to be used by children.
