Mermaid Treasure Necklace

FUN FACT! The 18/0 green glass beads used in this piece are not made anymore. Anywhere, by anyone. Not just these green 18/0 beads, but the entire 18/0 size class of bead. The grand majority that exist now were manufactured in Europe pre-WWII. (One guess why they’re not made anymore.) Today, 18/0 beads are highly sought-after and preciously traded in small batches by historical bead collectors and First Nations beadworkers.
