We have zero defense against African glass beads; truly, their beauty renders us incapable of passing them by, so we ended up with several strands of these beautiful blue and white striped stunners in the middle of winter, wondering when we'd be able to wear such carefree, longing-for-warmer-days lovelies. And, yet, here we are! Spring has arrived, and the refreshing combination of colors and sparkle seems just the time for this style. Radiant against a blue-sky backdrop, a vintage reproduction of a classic shield-shaped brooch in resplendent rhinestones is front and center among the strands, and a vintage rhinestone clasp is adjustable at back from 19.5 to 20.5" in length.
