Givre beads refers to a crystal colour or transparent bead with a swirl of interior colour. These vintage glass beads are made using a glass encasing technique before they are pressed into moulds and polished. The term is attributed to glass manufacturer Swarovski and derived from the French for frosty.
These Cherry Brand connector findings are 28mm in length, including the wire loops, by 11mm in width. Made by homeworkers in occupied Japan immediately after the Second World War they were exported to American bead dealers and were amongst the top ranking products for bringing much needed foreign currency into Japan. In their way these Japanese beads helped to rebuild Japan.
