Vintage Swarovski* and Other Vintage Beads and Stones

We occasionally acquire some vintage 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. ;-)

Pagoda Beads by Swarovski

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. Occasionally, we score some that have been in storage. We get them in their original packages. (Vitrail | Comet Or )

They were made with the holes either on the front (called a "Left" bead - see photo) or the back (foiled-side) (called a "Right" bead). When you string a "Right" and a "Left" together, they overlap and make a solid row of crystal. Sometimes, we even get the same colour in the same size in the left and right!

*In 2008, Swarovski re-branded their components as "CRYSTALLIZED," but, as these are vintage, they are still Swarovski. As of 2010, they switched back. They are now known as "Swarovski Elements."
