VINTAGE BEADS

Found a treasure trove of vintage beads! They are simply delightful with their retro shapes and colours...so I kept the designs very simple to keep the focus on these lil' treasures from the 1960's.

TILLY : Aqua Blue Vintage Beads with Thai Karen Hill Tribe Silver* 11mm Textured Beads and Flower Bead Caps on Silver Hook with Lever Clasp $45
SOLD

*note : The Karen tribe is the largest of around twenty hill tribes originating back to the 12th century from Tibet whose total population today numbers more than seven million across The Union of Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand. Being between 99.5% and 99.9% pure silver, Karen silver has a higher silver content than Sterling silver. It's just the solder used to fuse the silver components together that makes up the last fractions of a percent. (source : http://www.indigo-silver.co.uk)
