Drifting

On my last trip to NYC, I went to a jewelry wholesaler that specialized in “new old stock” - vintage beads and jewelry that had never actually been used. Most things were priced by the pound, and as I was handing my finds over to be weighed, I spotted a small bag of these rhinestone components on the floor and couldn’t resist them. I only have a few left, and they’re even more amazing in person. I chose to set this one in a very simple frame of sculpted harvest gold wire to let the rhinestones really stand out. 2” long and 1.4” wide.
