Frosted Clear Plastic and Lilac Glass Floral Beads Like the first flowers of spring, this necklace is a lovely sight. It features two frosted, clear plastic flowers that each measure 1 5/8" by 1 5/8" and dangle from a frosted plastic melon bead. These are beautifully accented by lilac glass flower beads, clear crystals and frosted clear glass seed beads. It measures 15 ¾" long and the longer dangle drops down 6". I believe that this is one of those "put together" pieces, as the clasp and glass beads are 30s-40s, while the plastic flowers and associated knot work (see photo below) are newer. Excellent condition and a very pretty necklace when worn.    $54.00
