Re: Beautiful Millefiori Beaded Necklace Unusual Figural Faces

It is a piece lacking precious stones and gold and silver, so short of an analysis of the beads themselves, can be sold in accordance to how well it is marketed and the venue. At first glance the consistency between the metal pices in the necklace indicate recent manufacture. There are many craft stores that sell beads of different types and accessories to make jewelery. Though I have not specifically held the piece or examined it, the search of the beads is done easuly enough.

Now as to marketing, that was done well even in this forum or venue.

This blog had some interesting comments.

The one photo that you used indicated good marketing skills.

I would not venture a guess as I have not looked at the beads carefully, but in the "right venue" and with good sales skills, the price is open.
