Vintage Acrylic Baroque Barrel 'Freshwater Pearls'

Based on the paperwork and where we acquired these beads they were probably made in the 1980s. There are enough different molds that they do pass for freshwater pearls until you handle them and feel how light they are.

They measure about 8mm x 4mm

There are .03 oz. strands with about 90 beads each, and bags of 1 oz.
