I have been collecting vintage beads and components for years. I have just recently started to assemble some of these treasures into jewelry. The beads used here are vintage Japanese. The top are clear crackle glass round glass beads capped on both ends with sterling silver. The bottom dangle beads are four-sided bi-cones with swirls of violet, clear and what iridescent glass. These measure 2 3/4" long and will sparkle under long hair or short.

Most of my pieces are one of a kind as the beads and vintage pieces that I use are hard to come by. I use a combination of vintage that I find and pieces that I make. My handmade pieces do not have a perfect machine made look. It is a quality which I love. Each piece will be carefully boxed and will be around for generations to come.
