These are very collectible striped Venetian glass tube trade beads, likely made between 1900 - 1920. The silver collared beads are 19th C. Berber, hand-cast of high-grade silver -- as are the thin silver disk beads on each end. The bracelet is secured with a vintage sterling silver spring ring clasp.
The beads are strung on 20 gauge silver wire, which retains the circular shape -- the bracelet fits like a narrow cuff. The glass tubes are in fine condition with no visible chips or nicks.
Tube beads: approx. 35mm long
Bracelet length: approx. 7.5" (bracelet length is not adjustable)
Please look carefully at the photos, which are integral to the description of the piece, and use the magnifying feature to assess the condition of the beads. I'm happy to provide additional photos or information -- or discuss the materials and the bracelet's construction.
Your purchased piece will arrive gift wrapped and boxed. Note that we offer FREE domestic shipping.
