Brass and Russian Blue Spacer Necklace
I have been hoarding hard to find, antique and vintage beads for as long as I can remember. This necklace features some of my personal favorites. Lets start with the oldies and the stars of the show coming in around 150+ years old that include blue Russian faceted glass, Italian thousand eye beads, skunk beads, glass tube beads and hand made domed brass beads. As for the newer antique findings we have faceted brass beads, antique crystal (these are really cool and were dated 1902!) Vintage beads include Russian faceted beads from the 1970’s, African trade beads, tile beads and the mother of pearl inlay pendant featuring the cutest little bird. Modern findings are bone beads, tigers eye, agate, faceted glass, a variety of shells, a Swarovski crystal skull and 223 shell casings. The dangles are finished with the previously mentioned mother of pearl pendant, Sacajawea coins, with a limited edition Sacajawea coin that has been cut out and features the profile of a Chief and horse, one brass hawk bell and one brass ball. This necklace is strung on sinew, with extra knotting throughout for added security and spaced with a bone spacer. Measuring 20” in length or 16” when not including the length of the dangles.
