    Got these for a dollar and was just curious about them! I love wearing them and would like to know what they are are. The remind me of vintage Italian glass beads but I honestly don't know anything more. Any thoughts on these ? Many thanks

    They’re sliced millefiori canes. Nice ones.

    Thank you! Unfortunately one bead is cracked but it is not noticeable. Is it possible to date these beads at all based on the patterns or anything?

    I have been reading The Bead Man posts on Facebook. He writes books on beads so is very knowledgeable. You might join is page and run your beads by him.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I tried to help by looking for it just now. Saw several pages with the Bead Man. Most were selling beads. Also found the Bread Man. :)

    @laura9797 It looks like the page is private now.
    If you can’t see the group private message me if you like and I can send you an invite.

    If anyone was wondering these turned out to be Chinese beads from around 2003! Still a very nice bead bracelet that I like to wear.
