For those of you who have been following the blog for awhile now you are probably aware that you can click on any of the images to get a close up. Well since it’s so damn hot out this week, I’ve decided to save you and your fingers from the strain of clicking by providing you with a close-up pic. How epic is the hand applied beadwork on that set from the 1960’s? We totally swooned & salivated when it came in! Eat your Wheaties though as this is not for the weak!  Each piece is quite heavy with all those crystals, glass beads and pearls that adorn them. Fashion over function though, right kittens?
