13mm Smaller Mis Chiquitas....My Little Rose Bud Manipulated Brass Beads
And they are.....bien chiquitas! Little and cute! With all the style, detail and vibe of the larger rosebud beads made of layers of manipulated brass....but smaller. I am in LOOOOVE! About 13mm up and down, maybe 13-14mm across, will vary as they are indeed assembled by hand, can you believe it...in the USA! Yes, there is are still wonderful hand assembled brass completely in the USA....this is a perfect example. They aren't entirely inexpensive, no...but! FOR WHAT THEY ARE, aw come on! A treat and a treasure and yes, I do think a bargain. The tooling goes back to the 50's, my dears. Riveted center, I love love love them as beads, perfect eardrops....think spring, think summer....think ROSES. Chocolate ox plating with black antique, sold by the piece.
