12 Vintage Glass, Silver Beaded Ball Buttons from Japan, 9/16" Sparkly Rounds, Set of Twelve #VB-33

Tiny silver sparkly glass beads creating round 'ornaments'  from Japan - they're hand made beaded glass buttons, and even the loop is beaded.  They are like lightweight, mini disco balls, with so many facets, so much sparkle!  We've never seen buttons like these and we can't tell exactly how they were made or what's under the beads - not metal, something light yet strong and stable. We do know they're vintage and from Japan and absolutely fabulous. Twelve will be strung on what's probably hemp string.  Sold per set of twelve, in excellent condition, never used and carefully stored vintage. They are old, but in our opinion they seem well made and meant to last.  They're still strung on the original piece of probably hemp string, with a tiny paper label reading Made in Japan.
