Simple single strand of black glass beads. Irregularly faceted since each was done by hand, these have a tapered flow to them but each has a slightly different shape and size. These are strung on a braided brass chain with soldered rings at the ends for added security and durability. Not to mention they are just plain lovely! The largest bead is 1 inch and the smallest 5/16. Strand measures 18 1/2 inches long with a hook clasp. In very good condition with dark patina to the brass. Some facets have nicks but so small you'll never notice. Beautiful!
