Antique Venetian Red Glass African Trade Bead Necklace with Wood Clasp

Obviously, I ❤️ birds — they make perfect editorial models for my jewelry. I'm a retired physician with a lifelong artistic streak and curate vintage jewelry, art glass, and unusual one-of-a-kind finds. I love CREATING BOLD ARTISAN JEWELRY using reclaimed and vintage components. I gravitate toward objects with character, history, and powerful designs that simply POP! NOTE: I use just one AI generated image to create my bird models in editorial format. This is THE ONLY photo created with Image Generation technology. All others are real photos I took myself.
