Crystals

Crystal is currently a hot item nationally and vintage crystal is still a bargain compared to buying new crystal (assuming you could find the same cuts and colors) before you even consider the time and/or cost involved in stringing.  Before I got interested in vintage jewelry I had NO idea that crystal was available is such a wide range of colors and cuts.  Enjoy!

Description: Rock Crystal Necklace Strung on Chain - Clasp is marked Sterling 5 and is a hook-safety type. Single strand measures about 16" and has faceted rock crystal wide rondelles separated with more conventional glass clear bicone beads. Rock crystal (quartz) beads range in size from 6mm to 15mm and are graduated around the strand. A few beads must have broken at the clasp end at one point as there is a little gap in the chain and one side starts with very slightly larger beads; this would not affect appearance when wearing but as I have no source for replacing the missing rock crystal I am selling as is.

Item: CN1-0069

Price: $49.50 US

Sorry, SOLD!

Description: Long Czech Cut Aqua and Clear Crystal Bead Necklace - Though this doesn't have the crispness of faceting and quality of top quality Czech glass, this still is a beautiful color; the beads graduate to a whopping 15mm x 22mm for the largest bead, and the entire necklace measures 24". This deep aqua color is a perennial fashion favorite and for those seeking longer strands this is an excellent value. Original stringing, spring ring clasp.

Description: Red Aurora Borealis Two Strand Crystal Necklace - Nested two strand necklace of red (siam) aurora borealis 13mm beads, separated by goldtone crimp beads.  18" with fancy red rhinestone push in clasp.  This is a little "wavy", so I would be happy to restring at no extra cost if you so desire.

Item: CN1-008

Description: Czech Cut Clear Crystal Beads - While I believe these are top quality glass rather than rock crystal, these beads show no sign of telltale bubbles and are quite cold to the touch. Sterling safety clasp, about 20" long. Beads graduate from 6mm to 13mm and are separated by small faceted clear rondelles. Recently restrung on silk. Wonderfully sparkly and certainly on the same level as top quality Swarovski.

Item: CN1-103

Price: $125.00 US

Description: Crystal Aurora Borealis Fringe Necklace and Earring Set - This is the second necklace I have found made this way with top quality crystal dangling from special findings that look kind of like a large crimp bead with an attached loop for dangling a 12 mm elongated round crystal bead (these are expensive and undoubtedly Swarovski and I have not been able to find a contemporary site that carries this particular shape.). These findings alternate with other 10mm crystal beads; tails on each end use 8mm AB rounds alternating with crimp beads. Adjustable hook clasp, will extend up to about 16 1/2". Matching earrings have been converted to french wires; crystal part measures about 1", dangling about 1 3/4" including the french wires. Beautiful with any pastel and dynamic with black. I don't believe you could make this for this price even if you could find the components.

Item: CS1-0092

Price: $59.50/set US

Description: Clear Aurora Borealis Crystal Double Row Wrap Bracelet - Plenty of spring here, this should fit almost any size wrist. Nice quality 3/8" rounds are separated by small bicones, with slightly larger and "squattier" bicone dangles on each end. Silvertone findings. Very nice and should go well with almost any clear aurora borealis crystal piece.
