Vintage Venetians

50's Italian Luxe.

A lovely old Murano glass necklace from a household sale last week.

So simple and perfect - a strand of half inch round beads.

The beads are clear glass encasing coppery flecks of Aventurine frit.

They're sitting in my Curious Old Things etsy shop right now. SOLD
You could wear it and be very glamorous or take it apart and use the 25 beads in your own jewelry.

Great find!
I'm TOTALLY inspired by your use of nature in your beads! Beautiful work. I've tried lampworking and I know how much work went into those beads.
The pollen idea is very unique!
