Venetian goddess

I can’t say enough about the gold vermeil center bead in this necklace.   I bought a few a decade or so ago.  The craftsmanship is impeccable and gorgeous and currently the bead would be almost unaffordable.  I went for an ancient look of unearthed treasure from another time.  The colors are just so lovely!
