21 x 16 x 11mm. These are simply wonderful. No holes, but there is a nice groove all around the edge that is perfect to wrap a wire around. These have a nice white cloud inside the transparent, faceted acrylic. The image does not do these justice!

22mm. Wow, we stumbled on a large collection of 1950’s retro plastic flowers, leaves, and other unusual pieces. Just check out the colors, they really date them! These are very simple daisies with a center hole.

10mm. These German beads have that wonderful, full of life, lucite feel to the touch. With that bakelite marbled look, these are very nice beads!

8mm. These German beads have that wonderful, full of life, lucite feel to the touch. With that bakelite marbled look, these are very nice beads!

11 x 13mm. Wonderfully transparent lucite triangle nugget beads! Smooth and lightweight with a warm goldenrod color.

18mm beads. Made of acrylic, these are vintage cream and orange terra cast beads . There appears to be a high luster finish applied to the acrylic which gives these beads an interesting feel and exceptional shine!

8 x 22mm. We are not sure what these are made of but we think that it is an early form of lucite or plastic. These dainty flowers make a nice tinny sound when they rub together, kind of like the sound of icicles sliding down a slate roof. These could be wired into your work or you could use a very fine drill to put a hole in them. So many possibilities!

12 x 24mm with a 3mm hole. These beads have very small green, blue, and orange speckles. The larger (3mm) hole allows for a variety of stringing options. Once again, those Italians know how to make a bead!!!

25 x 26mm. These beads are very unusual in shape. The satin "slushy" finish really adds to the color and style of the beads. The wide hole (5mm) opening gives this bead more options than the average acrylic bead.

17 x 24mm. Vintage Italian Lucite shaped like an egg with a Sailor’s knot design. The rusty washed color gives this one some real style. You just don’t see new beads like this!!!

14mm x 16mm. Made with pride in Austria.

22mm round. These old plastic beads are thinner on the top than the bottom for a really unique and wonderful shape. Top drilled for danglin’ designs. Lightweight and reasonable.

8mm round. These have that wonderful old Lucite feel. Made in Italy. These are transparent shades of orange with swirls of yellow, white and orange. Each bead is a little different. Yummy!

17 x 30mm. These are big and beautiful. A warm rainbow of reds, oranges, yellows, blues and whites. Those Italians know how to make a bead!

22mm Round. These have that good old feeling to the touch. And, the marbled look of bakelite. Nice beads made in Italy.

29mm round. Really Big! A beautiful peach with marbled terra cotta colors swirled within the bead. Unusual size and colors. Wonderful beads.

11mm thick x 22mm across. We had this style once with an orange wash and were lucky enough to find them with this purple wash. Get these while you can. They did not last long the first time around!

10mm round. These have a really nice feel and glow in the light. Quality beads made in Italy. Great to make some funky designs with.

21 x 18mm. These are old Italian beads. The center core of the bead appears to have been dipped into a black and yellow acrylic giving it this wonderful "Yellow Jacket" The shape is baroque. The hole is through the length of the bead and is smaller than most beads this size but workable with medium soft flex.

These biggies are 44m x 10mm. The hole is center width of each bead. These came out of some old stock the finish is matte. These beads are bright and fun. They remind me of the younger days. Sold in 3 bead lots.

23mm with a 6mm o.d. hole. These are German made, acrylic beads. Beautiful and lightweight.

4mm rounds. These faux pearls come on a 60" strand. That’s with 498 pearls each strand. You can purchase them by the individual strand or by a 10 strand hank (Simply update the quantity to 10 for a hank.) They are nice and lightweight.

18mm. We love these beads! For one, the dots themselves have a sort of flat surface to them. Two, we love that the size of the dots on each bead varies. These are made of an early acrylic. I made a super fun bracelet with mine. 

30mm. We love these beads! For one, the dots themselves have a sort of flat surface to them. Two, we love that the size of the dots on each bead varies. These are made of an early acrylic. I made a super fun bracelet with mine.

30 x 21mm. The shape is a triangular sort of pyramid. The yellows, oranges and greens are suspended within the lucite for a unique look. They are drilled lengthwise. Another unusual bead that really has the AGOS staff excited!!!

35 x 35 x 10mm. These Can be alternated on the strands to have them line up as a slanted rectangle. Super style here. The yellow, orange and greens are suspended within the lucite for a unique look. Take a peek at the enlargement to see one way they can be strung.

24 x 12mm approximate size with 3mm hole. These beads are in a consistant nugget shape. Very rich in color. Gotta love the quality of old Italian beads!

12mm round. These are very pretty. Not sure if they are lucite or plastic. Who cares? They are really really nice.
