Ercole Moretti is the Ferrari of Italian beads. The bead house started producing beads and other glass decorative objects in 1911 and they have been the standard bearer ever since. These colorful and joyful round glass beads are vintage, probably dating from the 1960s. Some have three patterns per bead and some have two. Most have a flower and a starburst. The hole will accommodate a 1 mm cord. They are sold by the piece.
