Favorite Antique Gold Washed - Gilded Sterling Silver Beads from Sri Lanka - Rita Okrent Collection (C551)

My favorite beads, but rare and hard to come by.

These nicely matched antique hand made lightly gold washed faceted silver beads come from Sri Lanka / Ceylon and were made in the early 1900's or possibly late 1800's.

Perfect for earrings, as they are large and not heavy. I wear these beads as earrings more than any other pair I own (very practical and elegant).

Sold individually.

Approx. 20 x 16mm. Weight: 3 grams per bead.
