I used to think beads were just plain old fashioned – and not in a good way. But I’ve come to see how much fun they can be, and how beautiful. This red glass single strand necklace has rhinestone ball spacers and small pieces that are scattered along its length. I suspect it is French made but, like so much fabulous vintage jewelry, it is unsigned.

It sells for Cdn $250 on my web site, Into Temptation.
