Vintage Black Beads

Here are some of my vintage beads in black color. It's amazing how many different sizes does the nailhead beads come! Take a look:

These tiny nailhead beads was a true find! I got these from
Germany. Really tiny measuring appr. 3mm these beads are flat,
have three tips and facets that reflect the light!

This photo gives is a great way to compare
the different size of nailhead beads.

Navette shaped nailhead beads have parallel holes and
are strung on bright red thread. Some bead distributors say
that black Czechoslovakia beads that were strung on dyed
thread were produced in the turn of the 19th and 20th century.


And these beads are Prosser beads! The small faceted ones in front
are actually pressed from paste and fired! The mold already
had the facets.
Black Prosser beads in white bowl are classic rounds and came
from the exact box that is pictured here.

Siin on mõned musta värvi vintage helmed. Uskumatu, kui erinevates suurustes nailhead helmeid on tehtud!
