The stunning silver foiled beads and matching bead caps shimmer with bursts of rose and pale green. They are lampwork -- individually made over an open flame -- and as with all such things, no two are exactly alike; each is a treasure unto itself. They were handmade in France in the early 1950s for the famous jewellery designer, Miriam Haskell. I've added 8mm vintage West German crystal that's a delicious combination of ruby and clear colours. The larger beads are joined by a triple strand of tiny 3.5mm pale green Czech round glass "bubble" beads from the 1930s, and palest sparkling pink seed beads. I set the rose and chrysolite opal crystal rhinestones in the silver plate clasp myself. Absolutely unique, it's another piece of wearable art 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.
