Awesome authentic yellow Millefiori Trade beads circa early 1900s. These beads painstakingly created in Italy for use in trade in Africa. The intricate work of a millefiori cone, comes to light as one examines the end and realizes the pattern goes throughout. Each bead is alike yet unique as the process is one of love.19 beads in total, 11 reddish and 8 yellow with 20 sterling silver spacers and a Sterling Silver clasp.
Strung on heavy duty flexwire for long wear.
CONDITION:New from designer, but old in nature. Many of the beads have chips of time, especially the smaller yellow ones.
