These glass beads are substantial. They resemble grape bunches. the lines between the individual grapes are deep enough to provide good delination between each fruit. The beads are top-drilled. The hole is such that you will need a jump ring in order for the bunch of grapes to hang flat. These beads are vintage and are from the 1950s. They were most likely made for lamps rather than jewelry, but that is no reason that we cannot wear them! Each bead is shaded between light and dark. Furthermore the individual beads tend to be more one shade than the other. There are three shades of blue to choose There is a light blue, a medium-dark blue and a very dark, tending to purple, blue. But know that no one bead is the same nor is any one bead all one color. You will have to choose which shade you want. The bead channel will accomodate a medium-weight jump ring or a 0.5 mm cord. The bunch of grapes is 35 mm long, 23 mm wide at the center. It is 10 mm thick in the middle. It does taper a bit, but the thickness is fairly consistent. Priced per bead.
