These are very small! 2mm in size, however the hole is pretty large for such a small bead. These French Torres are from the Napoleonic Era. Made from the 1800’s until 1920. They were produced for soldiers uniform decoration and strung to look as though they were braided on the uniform. They are seamless brass and have a crude corrugated look. We can’t wait to incorporate these into some seed bead projects to add an extra special antique element to our designs. Sold in 5 gram bags (approximately 200 beads)

These are the same as our vintage brass version, only we had them replated in an antiqued sterling silver for more design options.
