Ask me what color this bead is and I must tell you: it is something of a hybrid amongst Fuchsia, Hyacinth, and Dark Rose. It is a most gorgeous bead no matter what you call it, and it is AB to boot!! Faceted, measures 12mm, it may have been made by Swarovski. We do not know for sure because the bin only says "Austria, 1956" but not who in Austria. Judging from the looks of it I would say someone who knew what they were doing definitely made this bead. Sold in lots of 6 for $15 or 2 lots for $22.50. Because this one should really be taken by the dozen. You order 2 lots, computer does the rest. Order# BDVN414.
