What an odd collection of tiny treasures make up this stunning pair. The main bead is vintage carved bone, handpainted and gorgeous. Embellishments include glass pearls, shiny copper caps, faceted deep ruby rondelles, and irregular black beads that I know neither the origin nor material, but I am guessing African. These beauties wouldn't allow a proper photograph, but in real life? Breathtaking.

Copper Victorian-inspired findings juxtapose in a lovely way with the rough irregular surface of the Vaselines. Please note: No two Vaseline beads are exactly alike and most show the wear and tear of their age and their adventures around the globe. This is a typical pair, and give you an idea what to expect; I will choose a lovely pair just for you.
