Recently I needed a large Siam Swarovski rivoli and couldn't find one larger than 14mm.
My friend Melissa Ingram had a vintage one and generously let me have it.
When I received the post inside was -
A hank of antique English bugle beads called Carnival.
A vintage Celluloid Cameo,
2 Swarovski 'rockets' or Art. 4866 14mm in Bermuda Blue (which they don;t make anymore)
a vintage Swarovski triangle in Siam,
as well as the large Siam rivoli.
"A goody bag for my beading buddy" she said.......... Ask me if I was jumping for joy !
The picture above is a pair of earrings I made out of the Swarovski 'rockets' as a thank you for her kindness. All I need now is the jump ring and ear stud, which I need to try and find in my stash !!
The picture below shows you the side view of the Swarovski 'rockets'.
