WOW! I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THESE WONDERFUL RETIRED VINTAGE AURORA BOREALIS SWAROVSKI HIGHLY FACETED DISCO BEADS IN GRADUATED SIZES. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THESE BEADS BUT COULD NOT FIND THEM AT A PRICE I WOULD PAY FOR THEM. I FOUND A RANGE OF SIZES IN EUROPE AND IMPORTED THEM. THIS IS THE FIRST NECKLACE I HAVE MADE FROM THEM AND IT IS A STUNNER!! The Length Necklace is a bit over 16 inches long. I put a strong magnetic clasp on for ease of use and put a Sterling Silver safety chain with a lobster clasp to back it up. I placed little brilliant Aurora Borealis Bicones in between the larger Beads to give it a little more sparkle. THIS IS A WONDERFUL ITEM TO GIFT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE FOR AN ANNIVERSARY, WEDDING OR JUST BECAUSE GIFT. THE MAIN MIDDLE BEAD IS A HEFTY 18mm TAPERING DOWN TO 7mm. In between I used 4mm AB Bicones. Lilli Heart Designs features crystal from Swarovski® This will get you noticed when you walk in a room.
