I've been searching for glass pearls in size 2mm for a long time. I managed to get my hands on a hank of vintage pearls, made in Japan in 1950 or before that.
Finding that those vintage pearls go well with new Czech glass pearls in bright mink color, I made a pair of earrings and a matching necklace. Little 12ss size rose montees with swarovski crystal AB (I wish I could have them in copper plated settings!), faceted large glass beads and other glass beads, some with AB coating.

This is my attempt to use gold color metal findings (instead the copper color I'm more used to). It came out very bright in color, so it was difficult to photograph. Very fancy, suitable for theatre maybe
Idea to use seedbeads that way came from vintage costume jewelry brand Miriam Haskell. My first try to use box clasp with prongs. I got them by chance, one shop had these for a moment and with no plan to reorder, and I bought all they had! I should order matching perforated discs for these (I managed to use here stamped filigree plate but perforated discs are better - easier to attach).

This is a desing I came up to while I first bought swarovski flat backs. First I had no clue whatsoever what to make of these. One of the reason why I call them button earrings is that the very first try to make that motif ended up as a beaded button :) I've used this motif whit necklaces and brooches too.
