Did the Czechs ever make beads like this?

    Just wondering as these were sold as Czech. Did they ever do coated glass?
    Thankyou for looking :)

    Those are modern faux pearls. Could be Japanese, or Chinese or, or, or! I've got lots of these, bought new in the 90s, big thing then.

    Thankyou. I thought so. The photo didn't show the pearl effect at all and they were described as Czech and vintage and I don't think they are either!. You would have thought it would be easy to find plain opaque red glass beads but not so!.

    Hm. I'll have a hoard hunt. Plain red glass, round - what size?

    Thankyou OBB!. I'd be very happy if you have any spare.
    Plain red glass opaque and round and I can use anything up to around 6-10mm but happy to buy any size or shape!. I've got several project necklaces to restring and I can always hoard any spares!
    This sort of thing-

    Be careful in there. Use a safety rope and a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way out. Pack a snack and thermos and call me if you need me to send in the sniffer dog.

    But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.
