We fell in love with these beads as soon as we found them--the smooth, matte finish of these fire agate beauties sets them apart from the sparkly, glossy styles we sometimes favor.  Though more rustic than our norm, they are far from mundane, so don't be fooled by their casual appearance...their colors are rich and lively, ranging from deep teal to fiery orange.  In five twisting strands, they are substantial and graceful, and a pair of vintage Bakelite buttons in black swirling style adds a touch of whimsy at the side.  Sterling silver toggle clasp, approximately 18" long overall.
