  • Vintage Indonesian melon beads 14mm diameter on a short strand of 16 beads
  • Melon beads have been especially popular in SE Asia for centuries so it's not surprising that the growing bead industry in Java has begun reproducing them
  • These are vintage from a collection I recently acquired, I'm guessing they are from the 1990s 
  • The green glass is semi-opaque medium green color that's sometimes described as "greasy" as in certain "greasy" colors of seed beads preferred for Native American beadwork. It can resemble candle wax.  The have a smooth, but not glossy, finish
  • Only one strand available
