Vintage Glass Pearls

Siin on pilt vintage klaaspärlitest. Need on käsitsi valmistatud, Jaapanis. Pildil on natuke alla 3000 pärli!

Here's a photo of vintage glass pearls. These were handmade in Japan. There are almost 3000 pearls here!

Antique Prosser Beads in Red

Karp Prosser-tüüpi helmestega. Silt on küll kahjustunud, ent samasugustel teistel karpidel on tähed RB, No 00, Made in Czechoslovakia. RB peaks tähendama Floor Karspersi sõnul Riedlhammer Brothers, kes kasutas sellist silti aastatel 1918-1940.
Kasutasin neid helmeid näiteks selles kees.

A box of Prosser beads. The label is damaged but I have similar boxes and the label has letters RB, No 00, Made in Czechoslovakia. Letters RB should stand for Riedlhammer Brothers who according to Floor Kaspers these were made between 1918-1940.
I used these beads in this necklace too.

Bridal Post Earrings with Crystals and Pearls

Ma olen otsinud alternatiivi väikeste post-tüüpi kõrvarõngaste toorikutele, sest varasemate toorikute varu on peaaegu otsakorral ning juurde neid võimalik saada ei ole. Niimoodi tuli proovida uusi võimalusi ning üks katsetus on teie ees.

Õhulise filigraanse plaadiga toorikud on kaetud vintage Swarovski kristallide, klaaspärlite ning seemnehelmestega.Väikesed pidulikud kõrvarõngad on saadaval Etsys.

I've been looking for an alternative for post earring bases because the ones I used before are running out fast and cannot be re-order. So I needed to search new possibilities and one is presented here.

Earring bases with beautiful filigree plate are covered with vintage Swarovski crystals, glass pearls and seed beads. Small and pretty earrings are available on Etsy.

Siin on kokku pandud kaelakee, pross ja mobiiliripats.

Here you can see a long necklace, brooch and a cell phone charm all combined.

Purple Set

Valmis komplekt: pikk kee, pross, rippuvad kõrvarõngad, post-kõrvarõngad, mobiiliripats. Vähe sellest, et keed saab kanda nii kaelakee kui ka käeketina, saab siin palju omavahel kombineerida. Mobiiliripatsit saab lisada prossile või kaelakeele. Prossi omakorda kaelakeele. Kaelakeed saab kanda nii ühe- kui kahekordselt.

Finished set: long beaded chain, dangle earrings, post earrings, brooch, cell phone charm. This beaded chain can be worn as necklace or wrapped bracelet and there's so much more that can be combined. Cell phone charm can be added to the brooch or necklace. Brooch can be added also to the necklace. Necklace can be worn as double or single row.

Vintage Nailhead Beads

Esimesel pildil hoian käes Tšehhis valmistatud nailhead helmeste vihti. See pidi koosnema neljast väiksemast vihust, kuid harutamisel selgus, et kõik helmed on ühel niidil. Helmeste läbimõõt on umbes 3mm.

Teisel pildil saab alguse üks pross...

On the first photo I'm holding a hank of Czech nailhead beads. It should have four smaller hanks but when I started to take beads off I realized the beads are all on one strand. The diameter of a bead is approximately 3mm.

On the second photo a brooch has its beginning...
