It fits so perfectly, you'd think it was made to go with 5mm white hearts. *The first and second images are examples of how they look paired with 5mm white hearts. *Please understand that the listing is only for the Dutch Delft beads. *The 12th image is a size comparison. The item for sale is the small bead on the left. I've been collecting antique trade beads from Venice for quite some time, and this bi-color Dutch Delft in this size is a first for me. I've seen white and blue ones before, but hardly anyone has seen bi-color ones. Delft beads are prone to color fading, especially in the patterned areas, but these are in good condition, with only tiny air bubble marks (see image 5), and the motifs are relatively well-preserved. As you can see in the 13th image, Dutch Delft is my top recommendation, and I even use Delft beads in my own Goro's setup. The tricolor contrast is very beautiful. I was only able to obtain 4 beads this time (see image 14). First come, first served. Other Dutch Delft items are here: #skankoDutchDelft Dutch Delft = Delft of the Netherlands The name comes from the Dutch pottery company, Delft. It is said that the name came from the fact that when these beads were discovered later, they resembled the colors of the Delft pottery. There are few of these on the market, and even fewer in good condition. White beads are glamorous and change the atmosphere just by wearing them. Recommended for those who want a custom look that's different from others.
