These glass hearts were made in the 1980s and early 1990s in molds in Czechoslovakia. The heart is a clear gold with a bit of an AB coating, so the heart has a little shine. The AB coating makes the heart a bit more translucent than transparent, but the finish still lets through a lot of light. The heart is 6 mm from hole to hole and 6 mm and the widest point. The hole will accommodate a 0.5 mm cord. These are a sweet size for earrings or small charm. Price is for 10 beads.
