Sharing this with Caperkid who commented: 1886, "ALBO silver by N.C. Reading Co. factory in Birmingham, Great Britian. Circa 1886- 1920 ." I also used vintage red/white glass beads from Nepal and Guatemala silver. There is also a Catholic Notre Dam charm and a coin marked France 1925. Nice mix of cultures?

Thank you very much for your post as well. Some good information on the British Museum website.
Gorgeous marbled beads as well as silver pendant,charms and religious medals, really lovely
Clever use of the coin in the bracelet! Both prices are beautiful!
The pictures are full of wonderful textures of these beauties, beautiful !~
Love the givre beads! You really have a knack at putting pieces together...
This is marvelous in all aspects!
Love them Mary :)
these are really great photos!
Roy - thanks, I appreciate your post - will check out the website :-)
Jenni - thanks for loving this mixture of old baubles :-) The red ones are called Chevron: an old 1500's Venetian technique - layering glass, heating, cutting. Popular around the world. I think my humble chevrons are from Nepal.
Watchsearcher - thanks, yes I love using old coins and if they have holes, works very well for toggles. :-)
Phil - thanks, I thought the textures were nice too, and that silver filigree pendant is pretty great - I believe from Guatemala.
Eileen - thanks for loving my red and white chevrons. (Aren't givre beads translucent?) I am not 100% happy with the bracelet but have to leave it for awhile until I can figure out what isn't right. But, yes, I love the mix of beads and love the necklace. :-)
Thanks friends for your loves of this upcycle: Jenni, Fort, Watchsearcher, Ken, Phil, Hel1, Kevin, kwqd, Thomas, Tigra, Eileen, aura, Roy, Ivonne, Vnil, Hunter!
Sharone - thank you for your comment. We looked at them, but didn't wear them this weekend :-)
