One of the most important things you discover in the quest for vintage beads is that they can be hidden by funky and sometimes even nasty packaging! Dirty boxes and filmy looking plastic packaging can hide absolute treasures and a far from pristine outside can often conceal the most perfect vintage glass beads inside. Case in point are these just listed on Etsy vintage Japanese glass beads. They were still sealed, well stapled, in a rather cloudy looking plastic bag. These beads were handmade and still held some release powder in their holes making them look even less appetizing. Opening the package I discovered what gorgeous beads these actually were. Snow white rounds with rich emerald green spots and sparkly aventurina trailings. Follow the above link to see them up close! Just goes to show that the expression "You can't judge a book by it's cover" applies even when it comes to beads!
