Vintage 1940s hand-blown glass beads found at a Venetian antique market are strung on 14K gold, hand-made links with lapis lazuli beads. An antique lapis intaglio featuring an image of transformation--a bird with a snake in its beak--is nestled into a 22K gold bezel as the piece's focal point. A South Sea pearl, natural coral, and vintage 24K gold beads drop from the intaglio.
