Description: Seed Bead "Fluff Ball" Necklace in Shades of Blue - Extremely unusual necklace of tiny, tiny seed beads done in six different shades of blue running from a dark blue navy to an almost seafoam aqua. Meticulously made; honeycomb type screw clasp appears to be original. 16" length; fun to touch! Since this is probably somewhere in the 70 year age range and the stringing appears to be all original, I would handle carefully as you DON'T want to restring this! Still very wearable if one is careful. Item: XN4-066 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Black and White Seed Bead Circular Netted Necklace - That's right, these beads are strung so that they form a 1/2" wide tube. Necklace measures 16+" . Black and white combinations are always popular; this would work with almost any kind of clothing. Clasp is also beaded, a "knob and loop" type. Item: XN4-067 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: Red Pressed Glass Crystal Bead and Seed Bead Flapper Necklace - 30" endless strand with 3" tassle. (No clasp.) I am assuming these are pressed because the bead edges are not sharp and the beads are somewhat irregular. The seed beads appear to be clear with red lining; strung on red threat for upper portion; bottom portion strung on black thread. This may indicate that the tassle has been restrung or perhaps just done by a different person. Very delicate feeling. Item: XN4-086 Price: $35.00 US |

Description: Brown Lattice Design Flapper Lariat with Tassle - I have looped this around the neckform for photography purposes - this measures 54" plus 2 - 3" tassles, making this about 5 feet long. I am guessing that this was a homemade item from the 1920's, but it was well done and is in perfect condition as far as I can tell. "Boho" is the hot buzzword for this fall, meaning Bohemian styles with an artsy, even gypsy like ethnic feel, and this may be the right thing for those fall "peasanty" clothes - lariats can be worn in many ways. Let your fashion imagination go wild! Item: XN4-085 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Malachite and Green Glass Bead Necklace - This 24" strand of graduated malachite beads ranges from 7mm to 13mm. Excellent quality, beautiful beads, separated by emerald green glass faceted rounds. Safety type clasp has had the plating worn off, but everything else is in excellent condition. Malachite is a more expensive gemstone bead and this is a bargain price for this piece. It would go nicely with the other malachite bead piece on this page. Item: XN4-142 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Black and White Bead and Brass Pendant Necklace - What this is exactly, I'm not sure, but the findings (screw barrel clasp, connector links and pendant portion) are old and I'm guessing perhaps of early Czech origin. Beads are unusual, in that they appear to be made in two parts and then glued together. Chain portion measures 16", with pendant dropping 3.25". Item: XN4-042 Price: $35.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Malachite Bead Necklace - These appear to be genuine handcut malachite gemstone beads with small kelly green seed beads as spacers. Graduated beads go from about 7mm to 23mm and are more of a flattened round than a true round. Necklace measures about 27" and has a high quality safety clasp; heavy, substantial feel. Malachite is one of the more expensive of the semi-precious stones. Item: XN4-044 Price: $85.00 US |

Description: Pink and White Venetian Glass Bead Necklace - When you see a necklace like this up close you can easily develop an appreciation for what glass bead artisans do. Opaque blush pink wound beads alternate with translucent darker pink beads and fancy clear beads to which little wisps of pink and white glass have been applied to make flowers, stripes, scrolls, S's and dots. Of special note are the floral beads. The colors in this piece are lovely and clear, and for the woman who loves pink beads this will be a treasured piece for many years to come. 20+", spring ring clasp. Item: XN4-143 Price: $65.00 US |

Description: Light Blue Marbled and Off-White Opaque Bead Necklace - I am not sure if this is considered glass or ceramic; beads are cool to the touch. Claspless, this measures about 26" and appears to be on original stringing, though the clasp may have been removed or shortened at some point. Substantial feeling weight-wise. Beads graduate with the largest bead measuring 14mm. Blue beads are slightly deeper blue than blue lace agate, but I am assuming are meant to simulate them. Item: XN4-110 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Tan and Topaz Glass Bead Necklace - An intriguing piece, great with all the brown clothing currently in style, done with puzzle type beads, unusual "candy" beads, crystal beads in rondelle, round and rim-faceted bicone shapes, as well as smaller tan rounds and seed bead type opaque white beads. Spring ring clasp not original (I have restrung this on beadalon), about 16 1/4". Fun by itself or as part of layers of beads. Item: XN4-131 Price: $20.00 US |

Description: Italian Glass Fruit Necklace - When I was a child back in the 1960's my aunt and uncle brought me back a fruit necklace as a souvenir from their European tour. This is very similar to that necklace except mine was all done in yellow and green! This one features peaches, lemons, bananas, cherries, a few grapes, leaves, and dotted icicle beads. These are very fragile and it is extremely unusual to find one with no pieces broken off, and this one is no exception. However, it is still full looking and has a lot of life left in it. Adjustable hook signed "Italy" and will extend to almost 20". Item: XN4-133 Price: $69.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Japan Glass Bead Necklace in Light Blue Opaque with Raspberry Swirls and Goldstone Flakes - Unusual, better quality single strand beads with small brass spacers between the larger bead stations. This was originally strung on two colors of silk thread and the stringing had broken at the extension end so I have restrung this. Adjusts to fit up to a 14 1/2" neck and could be extended farther if one had matching beads or brass chain. Hook clasp is much more ornate than usual with the word "Japan" in the center and geometric patterns going on either side the entire length of the hook. Matching clip earrings are 3/4" in diameter. Excellent condition. Item: XS4-136 Price: $26.50 US |

Description: Wedding Cake Bead Necklace in Deep Blue - I have always been fascinated by glass bead making and have a deep appreciation for the skill it takes to make, by hand, uniform shaped wedding cake beads. As you can see from the picture, the goldstone/aventurine "girdle" and stripes are accented with pink rosettes and small spots of dark blue and yellow glass. The beads have then been strung separated by faux lapis beads and peach colored glass bicones. Clasp is an older style barrel clasp. This appears to have been restrung, but not by me. Necklace is just shy of 20" including clasp. Item: XN4-137 Price: $69.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: 24" Malachite Bead Necklace - Another of these exceptional necklaces, with beads going from 6mm to 12.5 mm. Barrel style clasp, separators are rather large green seed beads. Almost identical to the necklace at the top of the page (XN4-142) except for clasp and spacer beads. Item: XN4-172 Price: $47.50 US |
