Decided to spend more time searching vintage foil glass beads and realized that most of the examples are Venetian but they don't look like...
Very interesting that you thought of Miriam Haskell too -- I guess I wasn't so far out on a limb. If the necklace was mine, I'd keep it with my...
I think the faceted beads with only that "occasional flash of light" as Lucille said, make the whole necklace look more elegant than if they had...
