Vintage West German glass beads

I bought these wonderful vintage West German pressed glass beads, and I've been musing on what to make with them.  The colors are so vivid, like carnival glass.  These  are a particularly bold shade of electric blue.

The round ones are a bit too large for a charm bracelet, I think.  Maybe a choker?

Here we have some in an orangey topaz color, these would be great for autumn designs.

And my favorite color, starlight.  That's gray with a rainbow finish.

These I think will be lovely for spring designs, and they look nice with my rosaline octagon rhinestones.

So for now they are just sitting on my desk, waiting...
