Charmed Bracelets

Floor-Sweeping Earrings in Clown Colors: SOLD

I've almost run out of Czech vintage glass beads, and I don't have any more of these exact beads so if you want this pair of earrings, buy them now.

The glass beads are floor sweepings from factories in what is now the Czech Republic. 

I love the beads as much for the story as for their gorgeous colors and that feel in the hand that new beads just don't have.

Industrial-Strength Heart

This necklace shows off a red glass heart and a skeleton key on a antiqued silver-tone chain. 

The heart is one inch, and the key is two inches long. The chunky chain closes off to one side with an oversized clasp, also of silver-toned base metal.

I took the necklace for a "test drive" the other day and received lots of compliments. 

One of a kind. 

Price: $60, which includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.
