3 in 1 Pressed Glass Bead Necklace

Clever construction of a 'clasp of clasps' turns one necklace into 3 necklaces or even an eyeglass leash! The beauty of the piece lies in it's seemingly effortless mix of different shapes, tones and materials. The ingredient list may seem long but it allows for easy adaptation to whatever colors and shapes catch your fancy.
