I don’t usually like turquoise - once while bead shopping in a tiny store in NYC I accidentally backed into a wall full of it and hissed like an angry cat - but a bag of these beads somehow ended up in my house at some point (beads just sort of... show up sometimes?) and I actually really like them. It’s also definitely the real thing, and possibly also vintage? 

The tulip beads are vintage lucite from the 80s, and I’ll just be over here muttering to myself about how the 80s were only 20 years ago so how can these beads be vintage...
