Venetian Tequila Necklace; its not very often at all that I dip
into my collection of special glass beads; (the ones I like to gloat over
in the middle of the night); but I've been collecting for about 20 years
and I have to say its about time I started to open the creaking lids to
see what's inside...these beads are one case in point. All the glass other
than the topaz-colour Swarovski crystal is Venetian glass - gorgeous chunky
bumpy beads, pretty flat lentil type beads, great huge amethyst colour
rounds and smaller silver-foiled rounds. All metal used is Vermeil (high
carat gold over sterling silver) and the clasp is an attractive double
square slide type, also in Vermeil - the necklace is strung on Beadalon
Pro and measures approx. 21½ inches/ 54.5 cm. This is one of
a kind, I do not have any more of these beads. £148.00 |
