The photo does not do justice to the deep burgundy rusty red of The Tibetan beads. If you look closely these beads have a crackled finish. The beautiful large turquoise pieces are olive green and blue green, shot with black and dark brown veins. A perfect contrasted color scheme. The vermeil is silver washed with 24 caret gold. I purchased the vermeil a long time ago. Now it would be too expensive to use.
The Tibetan beads were found in a wholesale bead store in New York City. They were on sale and no one was buying them. I was thrilled to have a chance to own beads from Tibet, and I purchased as many as I could. I use them sparingly. This is the second necklace I have made from my Tibetan cache.
