Snapdragon Necklace - Hand-Blown Glass and Vintage 1960s Lucite

Description

This necklace combines hand-blown glass beads with an amazing vintage Lucite bead from the 1960s. The hollow glass beads are unbelievably lightweight and fairly strong, too, as I know from having accidentally knocked my own necklace off the dresser! The vintage Lucite bead is a lighter violet purple color and is absolutely stunning -- semi-matte with a subtle glow. The glass beads are a deeper, richer purple. I’ve set the Lucite asymmetrically among the glass and finished the necklace with an adjustable sterling silver toggle clasp that I’ve oxidized to a deep charcoal color.

The glass beads are 15mm (about two-thirds of an inch), and the Lucite bead is 34mm by 30mm (about 1.5 inches by 1.25 inches). The necklace adjusts from about 17.5 to 19.5 inches.

Your necklace will arrive in a pretty gift box with a thick satin ribbon, ready for giving.
