Bead

Elena Hernburg October 2022 millefiori bead with 4x kinds of flower 2x leaf variations backed by brown ribbon over turquoise core. Gold colored bail engraved HERBURG is glued in place by the artist. Never worn or dropped but shipped overseas and arrived with an internal crack, noticed immediately but did not contact the artist, the crack is visible but not detectably meeting the surface of bead, possibly a result of stress from the metal on glass bail. Still a intact wearable piece, the crack can be visibly concealed if worn one of two possible directions. Crack is visible in center of photos 2 and 5. Original cost $220.
