Mainly red Vinyl Beads are strung on string and a strand is 34" long. The 'heishi' beads are about 18 mm. These vinyl beads are vintage, in good shape and satiny smooth. The vinyl beads are mainly red mixed with other colours. There are 7 strands to choose from. Vinyl Beads make great spacer beads or as the feature bead for your jewelry.
