10 x 16mm. These brass cages have a loop on the top. Great for designs with a dangle element! Unusual egg shape! We just love um! They came out of old stock from the E.A Adams Manufacturing Company. This company went out of business in the early 80’s. These have been hanging around in a warehouse for many years before their closing. Not sure of exact age, but, wow. . . .what great pieces to have and design with.

14 x 11 mm. These are brass with a very nice gold plate on them. Take a close look at the criss cross grid as well as a wavy "ring" around the middle. Love this shape! Some reliable sources have told us they are most likely from Miriam Haskell’s vintage stock!

17 x 14mm. These were plated at some point. They are clean and consistently shiny. They remind me of beehives or a pottery project or more so like when you start twisting taffy, so I am calling them sworls. Is sworl a word?

22mm. These came out of old stock. We arn’t sure what their intention originally was, but if you put two of them together, you would have a perfect sphere that could be used as a bead. These are made completely of wire. Very interesting. Different!
