I would like to share a
gorgeous gown from
Augusta Auctions. It's a
gold silk gown embroidered with beautiful
hollow glass pearls. From the close up you can see that some of the hollow glass pearls have little rim visible and there's one pearl crackled (right, the bottom neck string). The smaller beads were once sparkly and had silver lining. Silver has oxidized with years and turned into dark grey.

Tahtsin jagada ühte imeilusat antiikset kleiti Augusta Auctions'ist. See on kuldne siidikleit, mis on tikitud kaunite õõnsate pärlitega. Lähivõttelt on näha, et osadel õõnsatel pärlitel paistab väike pikendus augu ümber, nö "kael" ja üks pärl on purunenud (paremal, kõige alumine kaela ümber olev kee). Väiksed helmed olid kunagi sädelevad ja neil oli hõbetatud sisu. Hõbe aga on aastatega osküdeerunud ning muutunud tumehalliks.
