- This set contains 3 of the 10x14mm beads, 2 slightly smaller, 5 medium size 10x12mm,, 19 smalls 9x11,, and 8 minis 8mm almost round.
- In addition there's one 10mm round bead, 5 faceted short cylinders with large holes that look like cut Russian blues except they are light blue and finally one large faceted bicone 20x12mm and 5 smaller ones assorted sizes
- Made in Bohemia, (now the Czech Republic) during the 1800s and early 1900s for the African trade and possibly also for the Alaskan trade where they became associated with Russian blues.
- From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator
