Made in Germany between the two world wars, these vintage beads were made somewhere between 1919 and 1938. These beads are 18 mm long and 12 mm wide. The bead is a pinch bead, meaning you can put your thumb on one side and your first finger on the other and they fit. The green and white pattern are wavy lines. Some beads have more white and others have more green. There is good variation within the strand to make an interesting necklace. Be sure to check out the companion Vintage lime stripe large beads, the larger version of the same bead. There are 25 beads on each strand.
