9EP146-3R: Vintage French Opaque Dark Red#3 9/0 50 Gram Bag is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These are vintage French 9/0 seed beads from Eclats De Perles — dark opaque red glass in a 50-gram bag, sourced from old stock with the kind of rich, saturated color that modern production rarely replicates.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent red with real visual weight — no shimmer or transparency, just a dense, graphic color that reads boldly from across a room.
Their 9/0 size makes them a natural fit for loom-woven bands, Native-style beadwork, and brick- or peyote-stitch pieces where a slightly chunkier seed bead adds texture and presence; they're also well-suited to fringe work and embroidery where that deep red needs to hold its own against fabric or leather.

Vintage frnch opaque dk red#3 9/0 50 gram bag. These vintage Venetian seed beads were crafted between the late 1800s and early 1920s, a testament to the extraordinary skill of Murano glass artisans working under Societa Veneziana Conterieconsortium of sixteen independent beadmakers united in 1898. Each bead carries over a century of history, made from glass canes that often predate the consortium itself. Because every batch was handmade, subtle differences in shape, size, and color are to be expected and celebrated. Most strands have long since given way to time, so a few broken bits of string may be found among these authentic treasures.
