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: Pink and Lime Green Crystal Pin and Ear Set - This set uses all bicone cuts in pink, lime green and lime green aurora borealis.  Pin is 1.5" in diameter and clip earrings are slightly under 1" in diameter.  Earrings are marked Japan.  While probably not originally an expensive set, this is done with very nice quality components.

Price: $25.00/set US

Description: Smoky Topaz Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead Earrings - Done in kind of a comma shape, these earrings have been handwired into a pierced backing, which is then covered with a solid piece of metal for comfort and appearance. Clip mechanism, 1 1/4" x 5/8", clips work well. Very sparkly. Brown continues to be a great choice for both street and evening wear, works like black but warmer and less severe. Wear this with brown velvet and watch heads turn appreciatively!

Item: CE5-080

Price: $18.50 US

Description: Metallic Silver and Metallic Gold Coated Clear Crystal Bead Necklace and Co-ordinating Earrings - Long (24") single strand using argented (silver) and arumed (gold) clear crystal (coating only goes 1/2 way around bead). Small arumed bicone spacer beads. Co-ordinating earrings are done in all arumed beads and are done with a screw-clip mechanism that was mostly used in the 1960's. Earrings dangle about 1 3/4". Metallic coated beads are expensive, probably the most expensive of Swarovski quality beads and one of the most difficult to find.

Item: CS5-060

Price: $59.00/set US

Description: Topaz Clear Crystal Memory Wire Cuff - This triple strand cuff, done on memory wire, is connected by metal spacer bars, but is still very flexible and will fit most wrist sizes.  Graduated dark topaz aurora borealis glass crystal beads are separated by clear glass bicones.  Finished with crystal "tails".  If brown is your color, this is for you.  5/8" wide at narrow end, 1 1/4" at widest end.

Description: Rock Crystal Choker Necklace with All Large Beads - This came to me needing to be restrung, which I have put on beadalon, as original stringing was silk? thread but the crystals may have cut the thread (as many crystal pieces do.) This is unusual in that the separators are almost as large as the main beads. Faceted cushion cubes alternate with rounds; graduated in size from 5mm rounds and 7.5mm squares to 11mm rounds and 12.5mm squares. About 16" total length, older spring ring clasp. If you wish to have this restrung on silk with hand knotting, we will be happy to do it for an additional fee.

Item: CN5-088

Description: Czech Cut Large Peach Crystal Bead Necklace - Beautiful choker length 15" necklace with beads graduating from 6mm to 19mm. Substantial feeling and without the fleabites that are common to this type of piece. The color is "rosaline", a peach with a hint of pink, color is a little more intense in person than my monitor indicates. I have restrung this on beadalon for security as original stringing was perilously close to breaking.

Item: CN5-087

Price: $47.50 US
