I purchased this antique necklace (hand beaded) last weekend. I want to make earrings to match, and cannot find the large darker red beads anywhere.


If you have 2 that match, please e-mail me. I can pay postage etc.

They are 1 cm long and a little over 1/2 cm in diameter at the widest point on them.

I tried to take a picture in the best light, so you can see the color too. They are not red-red, but more of wine red.

...if all fails, maybe Shipwreck Beads might be able to help. I used to work there before moving. That place is amazing for beads of all kinds!

please be warned... it is overwhelming!

I would guess that it wouldn't really be noticed if you removed two drops from the necklace....

I am afraid to take it apart, because I can't tell how it's put together. If the whole thing comes apart, I'll be pretty sad.
