These vintage glass beads were made in Czechoslovakia during the 1990s in molds. These are opaline glass. The glass has the fire of an opal, but it is glass. So they are translucent. The bead is incised and has a gold pattern. So the beads have both color and texture. The bead is 9 mm from hole to hole and 7 mm wide. The edges are smooth and there are no mold marks. Price is for 10 beads.
