Some necklaces

 

It was my best friends birthday on sat and she wanted something with both red and green on it...So light siam (bright red) swarovski crystals, semi precious peridot chip beads and some red & green venetian style glass beads...The peridot chips are teensy and although they do look fine i was a bit disappointed that they weren't bigger...Mind you now i wouldn't mind having other semi precious chip beads teensy like these LOL..Hope she likes it...The other pics are just some necklaces that are almost finished...They need fastenings on them but that's all...Bit miffed with the pics as it's a gorgeous sunny day and they look as if the tungsten setting has been used...Hmm

Venetian style or more correctly murano style is where there is either silver or gold foil on the inside of the glass bead...Glass can only be called Murano if it has been made on the venetian island of murano itself...True murano glass beads have genuine gold or silver in them...Other places it is base metal in gold or silver colouring...Even so i intend to buy some genuine murano glass beads at some point.
