Description

Vintage Cherry Brand* blue opal Invitatory and Cruciform beads with vintage blue frosted round Czech glass week beads, fire polished faceted Czech glass spacer beads.

The Cherry Brand opal blue beads are a wonderful varied dimpled oval shape, beautiful opal blue color.

Length of beads is approximately 10 1/2" to the jump ring, cross sizes vary with each design, see crosses for their size.

Please note there is a loose cording to allow the beads move freely while using, this is not an error but intentional to ease in use. I found when we carried theses before that some folks keep them in their pocket and scrunched them up in their hands, extra cord allows for this.

Prayer Beads come with an instruction story/suggested prayer sheet, gift boxed.*Cherry Brand beads were made in Osaka, Japan dating between 1945 to 1952. The creators of the Cherry Brand glass beads were a group of artisans who were rice farmers by day, and bead glass workers by night in their homes and during their off season. I frankly had a hard time using these because I thought they were so special
