There’s something about the colors of vintage glass - reds, in particular, tend to be much deeper and richer than modern glass beads. 

These are on the short side, since I realized I’ve been making a lot of long dangles lately; I tried to pack as much fwoosh into them as I could, though. 

(I use sterling silver french hooks by default, but I also stock titanium and surgical steel french hooks and high-quality silver-plated leverback findings and you can upgrade to those right over here.)
