Product Details

The age of these authentic antique padre beads is evident in their unique and imperfect character. Old padre beads are hard to by and translucent glass padres such as these in this unusual red color are among the rarer varieties to be found in Ethiopia. Likely of European provenance beads such as these were traded in East Africa. Each strands consists of approximately 100 beads on a raffia cord measuring 4-6mm wide by 9mm diameter. The large 3mm hole size makes them suited for larger stringing materials such as leather strips or other rustic material. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from picture.

Beautiful old beads

These are lovely beads and you can tell they are super old---they have dirt on them and everything--charming to some, but maybe not for everyone. I gave them a good scrub in my studio and am excited to incorporate them into my designs.
