I just received a shipment of these wonderful Fiorato beads from DeRoma Venetian Glass Bead stores and I fell in love with the opaque black beads! The black Fiorato beads that I crafted into this piece are absolutely gorgeous!
DeRoma's describes these wonderful 15 mm Fiorato beads as "antique replicas," because they are nearly EXACT replica beads of antique Fiorato wedding cake beads that were made nearly 1000 years ago.
Each 15 mm bead is individually handcrafted utilizing centuries old Venetian traditions that have not changed in years. The 4 beautiful focal beads in this bracelet have LOADS of sparkly Aventurina in their centers, all covered with incredibly thick & detailed layers of pink flowers, in the traditional Venetian "forget me not" pattern.
I spaced the four beautiful beads with VERY OLD 6 mm & 10 mm light rose Swarovski crystals that are NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION! I salvaged the wonderful antique Swarovski crystals from a parcel of estate jewelry that I purchased from a woman in New York City. The estate jewelry dates from 1920 through 1950...so my belief is that the Swarovski light rose crystals were made sometime during that time frame.
In addition, this wonderful bracelet has the following:
~various Bali .925 sterling silver spacers, caps, bead caps, spinners
~15 mm Bali sterling silver toggle clasp
~2 x 8 mm natural pink freshwater pearls
This bracelet measures 6.25 inches in circumference.

I use a patent pending EZ Bracelet sizing cone to size all of my bracelets.
It is possible for me to enlarge this bracelet by adding additional sterling silver components to both ends or to shorten this bracelet by removing some silver from either end, if requested upon purchase.
