Description

Polka Dot Class - Vintage Polka Dot trade beads, Sand Cast Glass Bead Necklace Ted Rice Designs

Beautiful necklace, classy one of a kind appeal.

Melon end beads and clasp are brass. Total length 22 inches. Strung on multi-strand wire for durable wear.

The technique for sand cast beads began in Ghana and originated in the 16th century. It begins by grinding up glass from bottles, jars, or other beads. The crushed glass is poured into molds and placed in an oven. Craftsmen then use a metal pin to shape and perforate the liquid glass before it is set. These beads are vintage collectibles.

Ted Rice Designs are hand crafted by the artist, materials blended vintage and new.
