These beauties would be perfect to pair with large-hole pearls on a leather strap necklace! These are vintage beads made in Czechoslovakia some time during the 1970s, most likely for the macrame market. The color is saturated almost to the point of the bead being opaque. The bead is 17 mm across and 9 mm thick. The hole is 5 mm. There is some variation in color from one bead to the next, but most are a deep, rose pink.
