The bead is fantastically beautiful, with a black base, silvered murinni, then pink as well as white complex cane murinni flowers all around. They are encased in a deep coat of clear glass to magnify them. The egg-shaped bead is bound with deep purple Chinese knots and topped with a cold-worked hollow pink bead. The pink silk cord necklace has a lovely design of white pearls, and is finished with purple Chinese knots and a hand-made sterling silver clasp. The necklace is in a gallery at this time...please let me know if you would be interested in having it.
