Alexandria No. 2

 

13 handmade glass beads in rich amber, robin's egg blue, creamy ivory & ancient silver bands.  I worked a lot of silver mesh into this set, it instantly adds a curious, yet striking appeal - giving these beads both visual & tactile interest.  There are bicones, barrels, squares & round beads - lots of options for your imagination to play with! 

 

Fun Fact: The ancient city of Alexandria in Egypt was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC.  Today, it is known as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean".
