Gorgeous old mercury glass bead garland strand in a hard to find color - rich, deep cobalt blue. The garland measures 83 inches long (beads only, not excess string), just an inch shy of 7 feet. The single beads are about 1/4 inch or 6.5mm diameter. The coloring has some minor variation in shading as is common with old mercury silvered glass but there is no flaking or scratching to the finish. There are no chipped or broken beads.
