Murano Glass Bead Necklace
This vintage necklace is made of 15 colorful Murano glass beads graduated in size from 7/8 inches (2 cm) to ½ inch (1.3 cm). Its predominant color is bright blue with very interesting and unusual designs in the glass rod cross sections. These pieces are like sliced candy canes molded together. One sees small red stars, zebra stripes and pretty kaleidoscope motives. There are three little glass beads between each larger oval bead. The length of the necklace is 20 ½ inches (52 cm). This is a very old and interesting piece.

Long Ethnic Necklace with Heavy Brass Pendant
A large heavy brass pendant reminding one of a large arrowhead is held in place with 4 stands of round flat beads and 4 strands of tiny gold colored metal beads. The predominant colors of the beads are black, brown, green and gold. The strands of beads are held to the back of the pendant with a rubbery black substance.
The length of the chain with the pendant is 21 inches. The length of the pendant is 3 ½ inches (10 cm). I don’t know the origin of this vintage necklace, it could be African. This quite dramatic large piece works fashionably primitive and interesting to say the least. Overseas surface postage $8.00, airmail $16.00.
