New Vinyl heishi, bright pink 4mm on strands at least 30 inches long
I used Vinyl in the title, because that has become the common name for these beads, but there is no truth whatsoever in widely published nonsense that they were made of recycled phonograph records.
The original beads of this type from the African trade were labeled as “Vulcanic” on early Bohemian bead factory sample cards, but they have nothing to do with volcanoes either.
These are not vintage, and though also traded by Africans, these new imitations in non-traditional colors were actually made for the American market in response to recent popularization of the style by music and fashion celebs.
