Long Necklace--Italy Glass Wedding Cake Beads, Tube Beads, Saucers

Jewelry : Vintage : Unsigned

 

A variety of bead shapes make this necklace distinctive. Seven clear fiorato (wedding cake) beads with "icing" of pink, red, blue, and copper aventurina sparkles are interspersed with clear glass saucers and long clear glass tubes with a stripe of aventurina around their middles. There are also round clear glass beads, metallic bicones, and brass bead caps. There is a lot here to delight the eye!

Length from end to end is 35" (about 17" long when worn). PLEASE NOTE--although this necklace can be worn doubled, it is designed for and works best as a single strand. Wedding cake beads are approximately ½" in diameter. Tube beads are a little over ¾" in length. Beads are strung on string and knotted between each bead. String appears to be in good condition with just a little "give." Metal bead caps show slight wear, as does the barrel clasp. This necklace is in very good vintage condition.
