The fabulous focal beads are matte black with a blush of fiery copper and gold. They were made in West Germany in the late 1940s.The 'blush' is applied by hand, so no two beads are precisely alike.I've added contemporary round and bicone Swarovski crystal beads that compliment the colours in the focal beads.The 34" strand closes with an antique gold tone pewter toggle.The necklace is undeniably beautiful; it's undeniably unique; and it's undeniably from SPARKLE PLENTY.
