I am so excited to have gotten my hands on these! These are the sweetest little vintage lucite bell flowers I've ever seen!


These are new/old stock from Europe (West Germany) and so minty mint! They are so delicate looking and make the most melodic sound when tossed around in your hand - just like a miniature windchime.


I was able to purchase the entire inventory from a long ago closed shop, and hopefully others will be interested and enjoy them as much as I am.

What Makes a Bead VINTAGE?

In the bead world, I always imagined that the definition should read something like “an era when bead makers used delicious colors, multiple shapes and materials to make little masterpieces for us to covet in the years ahead”.
A small object, usually round and containing a hole, for stringing, collecting, fondling and possessing creating bits of happiness to drool over.
Aside from wine, cars, memorabilia and other things, the word vintage can vary based on the subject matter as well as the individuals you speak with. Within the beading industry, its mostly agreed to that vintage beads should be at least 30 years old, give or take 5 years.

We take the time to research our beads to be sure they are truly what we say they are, and also try to keep our prices low. I have seen some absolutely gorgeous necklaces and earrings made from our Lucite flower beads and other beads that we sell.

Corner Flower Bead Stand

We offer the largest selection of Vintage and Contemporary Lucite & Plastic Flower Beads around!

Currently we deal mainly with Lucite flower and leaf beads as this is what I collect. I also sell contemporary (plastic) beads as well as these can be just as pretty and generally cheaper than the vintage beads.

I offer lampwork, and will be adding more when I go through my personal collection. This will be the same with my vintage and Czech glass, Swarovski Crystals and enameled metal beads. All were purchased with the intention of making jewelry. I acquired a ton of beads and findings but now lack the time to create.
I will continue to search for vintage Lucite beads to offer up to my customers and am tinkering with the idea of seed beads and some other items that I don’t currently carry.

Please note that shipping is a flat cost with no additional cost per item. All orders include delivery confirmation and are shipped within 48 hours of payment.
