Vintage nailhead beads, popular during the Victorian era, were primarily made in the Czech Republic and Germany, with some also being manufactured in France. I do not know which country these are from. They were passed onto me from a family member. Originally used for sewing on garments as they have flat backs. They are called nailhead beads as some have a hammered look from the facets and resemble the top of a nail once hammered in.
