Turquoise, yellow & black bakelite, black & brass seed beads

Dynamic shape and color come to the surface in this intriguing work by Lucia Antonelli. Through experiment and creative curiosity, the maker explores the artful potential in found bakelite beads. Brilliantly, she marries their distinct nature with tiny and delicate French brass seed beads, salvaged from 19th Century handbags. What emerges from this juxtaposed complexity is a marvel of culture and time. Ever so seamlessly, the piece is placed upon the ear with gold plated wires. A lovely expression to further ignite the soul.
