VINTAGE RED GLASS BEADS
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 noted 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. So, if yourlooking for a multi-colored bead that has red as one of the colors you'll find it there.
Long and skinny tube bead. Variating tangerine orange, with occasional brownish tints, on white gives this bead its striated look.
