Do not know much about these except they were my Mom (R.I.P.) and I remember her wearing them in the 1960's
They are like oval beads with a Sparkle sugar coating that really shimmer and sparkle. Hard to get a pick of it. The Pics do not do them justice even right now for being 50 years old. Wish I could get a better pic of how they do sparkle, and shimmer in the light.
Any idea about these, or what it would be called. I thought it kinda looked like *Wheat kernels with a Shimmer coating of sugar*.
Doesn't this Necklace sound DELICIOUS ......lol
Thanks for looking!!!
beautiful!!

Found out this info on these type of jewelry
""These beads are sometimes called Coralene or sugar beads, both of which are glass adhered to glass. Your beads are made with tiny balls of glass, sometimes called ballotini, adhered/glued to an underbead made of plastic. This type of coated bead was made by the West Germans and the Japanese in the 1950's - 1970's. For lack of a better name, they are still called sugar beads. (Although the tiny rounds of glass are sometimes called ballotini and used in jewelry making, ballotini can be a whole range of sizes and are used today mainly for blasting as an abrasive. ""
Pretty cool you found out what they are there is a lot to learn about beads
