<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 282562, member: 51&quot;]Just general thoughts.&nbsp; When I first saw them I wasn&#039;t thinking Venetian. They are unusual. I even wondered at first glance they were recent beads, but the clear cut spacers definitely look older.&nbsp; Cluttered makes a good point, usually things like aventurine (the gold sparkly part) is embedded in the glass, not painted on.&nbsp; And yes wedding cake beads do have applied things to the exterior, but the colors, aventurine, etc should be inside the glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost wondering if these might be Czech or Japanese, from the 40&#039;s or 50&#039;s plus or minus.&nbsp; Maybe to mimic Venetian?&nbsp; If I am correct, you really can&#039;t go wrong.&nbsp; Beautiful beads came out of both Czechoslovakia and Japan in those decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
