1920s Czech Mercury Glass Bugle Beads - 1.5mm x 2.5mm (2.5 g)

These authentic 1920s bugle beads are a quintessential artifact of the Jazz Age. They were carefully rescued from an authentic 1920s beaded dress. Each bead is crafted from mercury glass, featuring a silver-lined interior that produces the brilliant, mirrored reflectivity unique to early 20th-century glasswork.

Unlike modern metallic beads, these antique bugles possess a soft, luminous glow and subtle character variations that make them indispensable for the museum-quality restoration of flapper-era dresses, silk chiffon evening wear, and bridal veils.
