Vintage Swarovski

We have acquired some vintage Swarovski beads. Needless to say, these are in very limited quantities, and when they are gone, they are truly gone and you will have missed out. ;-P

Pagoda Beads

Also known as "potato-chip beads" or Article 5107 — these were produced by Swarovski for a very limited time. They were not economical to produce, as there was a lot of spoilage in the production process. These have been in storage, we got them in their original packages.
(Vitrail | Comet Or | Bermuda)

They were made with the holes either on the front (called a "Left" bead) or the back (foiled) (called a "Right" bead). When you string a "Right" and a "Left" together, they overlap and make a solid row of crystal. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the left and rights in the same colour. <grin>

Vintage Swarovski 5000s - Round 16 mm Jet. (1)
16 mm 5000 series round. Just try and find a Swarovski this size these days. What a handsome focal bead. Picture this, two of these as focals, off center, with some vintage silver, maybe some hilltribe silver? About a 22 inch necklace. Wowsers! Instant stunner. Each.

Vintage Swarovski 5000s - Round 9 mm Lt Colorado Topaz Corona (1)
9 mm 5000 series round. An odd size, literally. The packaging said Comet - but I think these are Corona, they have the vintagey looking semi-transparent goldy bronzey coating. These just scream quiet sophistication. Each.
