Featured Anyone recall the thread we had on this type of bead? ...Marko?

Hi friends,

A while back (thinking at least a year) I recall there was a thread that identified this type of bead. For the life of me I can't find the discussion. I think it was maybe a necklace @Marko posted??

So either looking for that thread, or if someone knows a name for these. I'm trying to find similar beads, or a necklace that might have some. Pretty sure these beads below came off of a broken necklace where this wasn't the only bead.

Thinking they are Czech possibly, glass with some kind of coating. Thanks!

 

Are these Cathedral beads? I always think these are Aurora Borealis but I seem to remember someone said that there are some early Czech beads with this colouring that were around well before the 1955 ish AB coated beads appeared.
I’m rambling as you’ve probably noticed as I can’t answer your question with any degree of certainty or accuracy!
As you were…….

 

Nailed it, KSW. Thank you. And searching "Cathedral beads" found the old thread!

If anyone ever finds some of these loose or on a broken necklace, let me know!

 

Yes, cathedral beads!
