"Balloons Over Venice"
I hand-picked these beads in Venice,
Italy. The lampworked red glass beads
are solid, the unique contemporary
hollow (very lightweight) striped beads
are hollow because they are mouth-
blown glass. They are designed to have
only one red stripe between the rest of
the black and white stripes. The beads
are capped with Bali silver and strung
on Sterling wire posts and wrapped by
hand. Sterling silver ear wires are also
hand-formed. These beauties are extra
long eye-catchers at 3 1/2" from the
wire.
