A page borrowed from another century: scalloped bead netting and teardrop crystals, the kind of lace a Victorian portrait would keep its chin up for.

Strung with needle and thread in Ukraine, bead by bead into open lacework hung with faceted crystal drops, and finished with a silver extender chain. Offered in black, dark grey, white, and beige.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

Color: Black

Beads for the night side
