The amethyst and olive green faceted glass beads in the 17-1/2" strand were made in West Germany in the early 1950s.I've used the same beads in the tassel, along with a trio of antique copper coloured charms.The longest tassel element ends about 3-1/2" below the strand.Both strand and tassel feature antique copper coloured findings and Swarovski 4mm crystal copper bicone beads.It's a charming piece, at a charming price; and it's from SPARKLE PLENTY.All of our one of a kind and limited edition artisan beaded jewelry is individually handcrafted in our studio in Los Angeles, California.
