Hi All,

Since winters here in Colorado are slower for me with work I decided to get into a beading project. I have wanted to try a Liberty style necklace for awhile and gathered some supplies for this one. I started in on it last night and finished this morning. I found it very meditative putting this together. I had fun with it and can see myself trying another one soon!

The large egg shaped millefiori measures 31mm x 21mm. I found it 30 years ago in a Michigan antique shop for a whopping 5 bucks! Sometimes you get lucky in the search for good beads.

Matt

it looks good!
and wearable- although you dont give dimensions it looks much shorter than the usual antique liberty necklaces which hang below the waist...

Yes the necklace is likely shorter than most Liberty necklaces at 29 inches long with a 4 and a half inch tassel. Although I had more beads to make it longer, I thought it would be more wearable at a shorter length.

If I found a bead like that in an antique store, it would turn me into an avid collector. There would be no stopping my unreasonable desire for more. You must have felt quite a thrill to find the long beads to go with it. Beautiful necklace.

The truth of it all is that this bead and another that I found with it really kicked things off for me as a collector. I'm hooked for life!

I too have a certain bead that started the whole thing. I had a feeling this was the same for you.
