Vintage spools came the estate of a woman who made costumes for Vegas show girls in the 60-70s. This wire is 26 gauge and is very easy to work with. The color is solid, deep green. The spools say there is 1/4 lb of wire. I can tell you that each spool weighs over 93 grams, that included the spool. I did use some myself, but only about 4'. It works beautifully. What the total footage of the spools is, I can't say and I'm not going to unwind them to find out. A guess would be at least 100' each or more. How much wire weights 1/4lb? There's a lot of wire here, and considering you usually get 5-10', maybe 20' on rare occasions and for $5-10. I have 2 spools of a silver rusty looking wire that I’ve been using for a couple of years. I’ve used a lot of it, and there’s still a lot left. I don’t anticipate running out anytime soon. Great for jewelry or other beaded crafts. Oh, it's not green because it's old, it is intentionally green and the color does not flake or peel away as you're working or with wear.

I’m a sucker for every shade of blue or green and anyway you combine them so these hit the bill. These beads are lampwork style, green touched with blue and pale blue dots scattered about. They’re translucent so that picks up the light well giving them a very rich color. One bead does have a divot, so to speak on one side. I tried to get photo but I think it’s a manufacturing slip. There seems to be no other defect. You may not find this one. Please review all photos carefully. They do constitute a large portion of the description. Measurements are approximate. Size: 18x10mm Number of pieces: 20 Note that monitors reflect colors differently. Thank you for looking. I am most grateful. Please check in often for new and interesting items.

Small, 3-4mm, turquoise beads. Great for crafting and/or jewelry making. Full strings. I bought these because I needed more to finish a project but the were too small and too green. I’m old, I can’t find the hole in these beads. I know many of you work with ease with beads this size but me, not so much. I’m offering them at the same price I paid. If I keep them around I’ll think I can use them and before you know it I’ll be blind. As is natural with turquoise, the color changes from all over the world. I showed them against a green and blue background hoping to give you a better idea of the true color. Please note that monitors do display colors differently. These are darker and more green than the lighter blue ones I had been using (which were also 4mm). Nonetheless they are a lovely color and turquoise goes with everything. They are priced by string. Measurements are approximate. Length: 15” strings Stone: turquoise Size 3mm Thank you for looking. I am most grateful. Please check in often for new and interesting items.
