Help Identify These Beads
Been collecting and selling here since 1996 but this is a new one to me. I believe it's glass embedded with foil although depending on how the light catches it, it has an opal look as well. I'm stumped. Any thoughts? The bead is smooth, not indented in the golden parts. Thanks for your help.

Looking at the right one, the top where it meets the cap, it looks like glass.
I believe it is glass with spot foiling drop bead.
I just started in beads with buying from a long term seller of vintage beads that I purchased parts of her inventory. Not an expert but I like them.

Foil is the term used but I think there is more also. Having a look around.
