Up for sale antique glass bead necklace. These beads are called skunk beads. They are hand blown with red and white glass. They were made in Italy in the mid to late 1800's. The bottom piece of the necklace is a rough copper nugget. It kinda looks like a tiny baby crunched in a ball. The filler beads are copper also. These beads were found in an estate sale. The son of the man that collected them told me about the beads his father had collected. I made the necklace and earrings. The necklace is about 26inches long.
