This is a strand of antique white hearts, not the commonly found current dark ones. These are extremely deep red, and it would be very difficult to collect a strand like this now. I purchased many strands and removed only the deep red beads, or collected them one by one. I've included images as a reference of how they looked when paired with chevron beads and Goro's silver beads, but this listing is for the white hearts only. I hope those who appreciate their value will consider this. I don't think you could gather this level of quality even if you spent a million yen now, so I think it's a good price. For those who like Goro's, these have a much better feel than pipe beads. I'm selling them because I've moved on from Goro's. I collected these from Tokyo Trade Beads, who have shops in Shibuya and Setagaya, and bo_tree09 in Kyushu.
