I would bet you would think this is crystal, right? Well, it is, sort of. It is Crystal Ultra, a special super sharp cut on the facets made it shine and sparkle like no other crystal. Then to enhance that, they added a pearlescent finish although personally I do not think it was necessary. It was a costly way to do things and the jewelry industry balked at the price (triple) so it was dropped. Without any other help colors just fly off these beads, some of which can be seen in the photo. In the hand they are absolutely incredible. These are extant in two sizes, not a great many of either, and they are 6mm or 4mm article 199. The 6mm are sold in lots of 12 pcs for $15, but I warn you now, there are not many so if you buy one lot and fall in love with it you may be disappointed later when the only lot left is my one lot that stays in my private collection. Forever. Unless my wife finds it, in which case it will cost me dearly to get it back. The 4mm are sold in lots of 24pcs for $19.50, obviously they would work well together while we still have both. Order Style# BDVN6629 for the 6mm, Sorry, 4mm is Sold Out.
Chalk white margaritas, hole 1/3 the way down from the top. Measure 14mm, these are a real steal at $13.50 a dozen. Until I sober up, then...who knows. Order Item #BDVN6425.
Chalk white AB bicone in 10mm. A real rarity, even though it is article 5301, try to find them in a modern equivalent. These go way back to 1955 and were one of the first AB beads ever made. Sold in lots of 6 for $15 or a full package of 72pcs for $190. We are real short on the packages available so step up to it if you want one. Order Item #BDVN6028X
A weird pink, like pink sherbet, but this is a very soft pink bicone, opaque. Pink as pink can be. Really pink. 5mm bicones. Sold in lots of 12 pcs for $13.50 . So buy what you want because when you want them again they will be sold out. As far as we know, this is really the only opaque pink ever made by Swarovski so of course they discontinued it before it could really catch on! Order# BD-VN6161.
