Golden Filigree beads have been used in jewelry throughout history! You see them in ancient eras, the Renaissance, and the late Georgian through Victorian eras.  An incredibly versatile necklace for historical use (and quite lovely for everyday use as well!)

These gold-plated filigree beads are made with Aluminum so they are wonderfully lightweight. 

10mm beads. 16" long necklace with a 2" extension chain.
