Vintage Glass Fruit & Bead Necklace ~ Festive Green & Red
Sugared red berries, green "melon" beads and opaque Venetian red glass beads are wired together in this lovely vintage necklace. 18 1/2"; there appear to be a couple of red berries missing at the very last station of the necklace (in the back). Everything else appears to be intact. - $95
Venetian Floral Enameled Glass Beads
Antique, hand-knotted Venetian beads are gold-foiled and have a floral enamel overlay. They look very much like cloisonne but the technique is different (and is quite labor-intensive). Each bead measures 3/8" and the strand measures slightly over 24". Fish-hook slide-in clasp.
