Modern Venetian glass beads, blown and carved, found in Venice on our 2013 trip. I set them as earrings with high karat gold and black spinel.

Venetian glass beads with high karat gold
From Venice, found on our 2013 trip, these wonderful canotti beads made in the '40's and '50's. I strung them with high karat gold, gemstone beads and large fresh water pearls.

Roman intaglio carnelian 18k earrings
These lovely intaglio carnelian earrings I bought with Rudy on our first trip to Florence, Italy in 1989! I had always wanted a necklace to wear with them: the re-cut and re-polished disk beads are from the 1950's African Trade and repurposed by our German friends Petra and Dietmar. I strung them with 18k for my perfect combination.

Chaos
Larry would name this necklace "Chaos" which sounds good to me. I found handmade beads in my stash that I had made more than 15 years ago and added gemstones from here and there. Chaotic!
