See Through the Smoke
elva
Like a glittering light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, this gorgeous gem, a vintage rhinestone brooch, was such a fun find! From the pinwheel-like petals to its sparkling surface, the bloom becomes the most beautiful addition to strands of smoke-finished bone beads from Africa. We love the almost white-washed look to the discs, creating such a stylish setting for the flower, especially with the addition of golden brass beads from India throughout the strands, echoing the design's golden gorgeousness. A double-hook clasp brings it all together at approximately 18" in length.
Note: The traditional smoke-finished process used to treat these bone beads does leave some charred remains within their drilled holes. Occasionally, with time and movement of the strands, the ash-like material within may become dislodged, so we advise wearing this design with darker colors to avoid transfer.
