Jewelex Collection, 1952
Jewelex Collection, 1952
The beads in this section "Vintage Red Beads" are for the most part just that, red beads. However, many of our beads have more than just one color. Some have two, some three and some with many more. We've decided not only to put only solid red beads in this section but beads with two colors, obviously red being one of them. On occasion, if a bead has more than two colors but is primarily red (base color is red) we will put it in this section as well. With that being said you will also find these beads in their counterpart color section as well. For example, if a bead has two colors, red and blue, you will find this bead in both the red and the blue color sections. It will be notied if any bead can be found in another section. If it has many colors you will most likely find those beads in our "Multi-color" section.

At first perusal these beads look like pressed glass but I assure you they are not. Each one was hand made and are sculpted beads, actually hand made in groups under heat, note the sculpting. The exact process involved rolling the molten glass over a pattern. These are a burgundy red color coated in an overall pearlescent finish. It's the finish that really gives these already unique little beads that extra something.

Most of our beads come from West Germany & Japan. We also have some from France, Italy and America. Most of these beads were also produced during the late 1940' and 1950's. Ocassionally, a bead will have varying sizes within a millimeter ex. 5-6mm, if in the lots of beads we have the sizes vary we will do our best to send the same size.
