This is very special! An 18" length of lovely jewelry/mixed-media components! Clear glass and pearls... perfect.

Strung on heavy monofilament and secured by crimp beads on each end, this strand is meant to be taken apart and used in your own creations. Each "cluster" is made up of 12 separate faceted glass beads or freshwater pearls, each placed on an eye-pin and looped. There are 10 clusters, so when taken apart you will have 120 components ready to add to your project!

Additionally, there are 6 beautiful oval, clear glass faceted beads, each measuring 3/4" x 1", and five 16mm pearls.

These were found way in the dark recesses of one of our favorite "haunts". There is a lovely patina on the wire loops. We love the smooth, milky-transluscence of these 3/4" drops.

One of our very favorite items. The rhinestone applique. These are extremely versatile and can be used on so many different projects. Beads and stones on mesh, with a heat-transfer type backing. Dip-dyed for a vintage look.

A Gilded French Christmas!
