Questions About Antique Seed Beads
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    The best thread for seed beads will depend on the size of the bead. Since seed beads come in many different sizes and shapes, using the right thickness of thread and color can make your project easier and more enjoyable. There are various brands of seed bead threads available and it is a matter of your personal preference as to which one you would like to work with.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Identifying an antique bead is a careful art. First inspect the bead for any seams that could indicate it was molded in a contemporary fashion. Antique beads tend to have a larger center hole. Inspect the bead for signs of natural age. An expert can help you confirm the approximate age of your bead. Shop a range of antique beads from top sellers on 1stDibs.
