Here is a completely unique pair of interesting kinetic wobbly antique vintage glass beads earrings created by BoffinBeads Vintage comprising two lovely Royal, Bristol, French mid-blue old Japanese millefiori glass beads with randomly-embedded bits of melted glass frit and decorated with swirls of gold aventurine. There are two small Murano, Italy-made antique collectable cranberry red 'white heart' beads or 'Cornaline d'Aleppo' beads dating back to the late 1800s or thereabouts when beads like this were popular with fur trappers around the Hudson Bay area and used as exchange for common commodities with Native American Indians above and below the rounded blue tubes beads. Below these beads are beautiful contrasting white bugle beads, probably Italian and of later date, with very small translucent cobalt blue seed beads and connected with replacement oxidised gold-plated pins, jump rings and loops to give a harmonious mellowing appearance as one would expect from vintage jewellery items. The ear fittings you see in the main photos are darkish oxidised bronze-tone lead-free, nickel-free gold-plated metal teardrop design leverbacks and these may be exchanged to any of the ear fittings seen in the main picture. (If you wish to upgrade to 14K GF gold-filled which are more expensive than gold-plated ones, a small charge will be made if you choose a gold-filled option so please ask before you pay! Length with these darker leverbacks about 60 mm or just over 2.25" and weight each earring a light to medium 2.7 grams each. These beads have not been made like this for many years and are considered therefore as collectables. 7 December 2022: Photos 1 - 5 shows the exact pair on sale today with contrasting white bugle beads tassels and teardrop design leverbacks. (Similar pairs you see in photos 6 - 12 with matching all-blue bugle beads or scarlet red beads are available in separate Ebay listings).
