I bought some of these beads in Amsterdam and some from my favourite bead shop in Coromandel. The design is a copy of a necklace I saw on Murano Island off Venice, for 200 Euro! But the first time I strung them the beads did not sit in a pleasing arrangement. I restrung it as a short necklace but did not like it, so tried the long version again and worked out where to put the beads so they would sit correctly - quite a tricky process as it is one string that you double. But hey it worked, and I like them - even if it took me a year! Thought I better get them done as it's almost time for the annual pilgrimage to the Coromandel Town bead shop! Hmmmm what shall I get this time?
