Hey!! I have a few vintage glass beads that I got in a mixed box of estate jewelry and I dont know what they are! Any help you can provide would be amazing!!
They are rough/gritty when I rub them against my tooth, feels the same way a pearl does! Not sure if that helps or not!! And they are cold to the touch!

The reddish pink ones look like coral. Very pretty! The dark beads might be black coral or something else.
I know laws have changed about coral, but I don’t know the deets.
A rough texture usually suggests stone or natural material. Glass, plastic, and resin tend to be smooth.

Could be red jasper jade beads…
but coral and black agates were quite popular together in the 1950’s…my MIL had them in her jewelry box as well
