Necklace with Vintage Aurora Beads, Dice Beads, Karen Silver, Vintage Pearls, Gooseberry Beads, Coral, and Assorted Stone Beads

This necklace is crafted by connecting vintage aurora beads, dice beads, Karen silver, gooseberry beads, vintage pearls, coral, and an assortment of colorful stone beads. The multi-faceted clear beads are vintage Czech beads, their surfaces subtly shimmering with an aurora-like glow that catches the light from every angle. Unlike modern beads where this iridescence can be quite striking, the glow on these vintage pieces is exceptionally soft, appearing almost clear at first glance. While these beads are in relatively good condition, some show minor signs of wear. (Aurora bead size: approx. 0.7cm height, 0.8cm width - largest) The aqua blue beads are antique Bohemian dice beads, dating back to the early 20th century. Named for their resemblance to dice, these beads showcase a deep, lapis lazuli hue that becomes even more captivating when held up to the light. (Dice bead size: approx. 0.8cm height, 0.5cm width) The striped beads are known as gooseberry beads, also antique Venetian beads. Their name comes from their similarity to gooseberries, with larger ones exhibiting a subtle pinkish tone. The freshwater pearls are vintage, possessing an elegant luster. The necklace is accented with delicate coral in a soft salmon-orange hue. The floral-shaped beads, clasp, and smaller accent beads are made of Karen silver. Each small bead is meticulously stamped with a floral motif. Some pieces incorporate 18k gold plating. ◇ About Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by the hill tribes living in Thailand and Burma.
