The first two items in this lot are two strands of sky blue opaque Vaseline beads. One strand has thirty seven beads and measures 13 1/2" in circumference. The other strand has thirty four beads and is 13" in circumference. Next is a group of thirty loose multi-faceted beads. Sixteen of the beads are Russian blue faceted beads, nine are dark Cobalt blue faceted beads, three are clear turquoise beads, and two are amber colored beads. These beads range in size from 3/8" X 3/8" up to 1/2" X 1/2".
