I'm wearing my Grandmothers Viennese crystal beads to add sparkle and glitter to my Christmas. I remember shopping for these with my Mum sometime in my very early teens but don't remember exactly when!
My Mum was a careful and expert gift giver, and showed her love and affection by buying people the perfect thing they never knew they wanted.
These crystal beads were an expensive gift when bought, and my Nan treasured them and wore them all the time.
When I inherited them they were a triple stranded necklace, which could be un clipped and worn as one, two or three strands depending on whim or the occasion. I disliked like the short graded drop style but wanted to wear them so I re threaded them randomly onto one long string.
The individual beads are worn and chipped with long use, but they still sparkle like nothing you can buy now and I love them 😍
