And Other Stories - Antique African Venetian Glass Trade Beads and Lapis Neckace, Handmade Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp

Not gonna lie, this is stunning and if it ends up in my personal collection I won’t be mad.  ;-)

Beautiful, incredibly preserved vintage African trade beads made of Venetian glass, circa early 1800’s, are paired with small beads of deep blue lapis as it winds gracefully around the neck. There it meets a beautifully detailed Bali sterling silver toggle, where hand wrapped charms of lapis on sterling silver hang.  Wear the toggle in front or in back, and wear this with anything - and I do mean anything!  This will style just as nicely with a casual look (linen pants and top) as it will with something fancier (summer wedding guest dress?).  And the old world charm and heirloom quality of the piece is guaranteed to get compliments.  

A true one of a kind.
