I have had this glass dragon bead for many years, but finally decided to let it go so someone else can enjoy it.  (As a bead addict, it can be hard to let go of favorite beads sometimes!)

The dragon is painted on the *inside* of the bead (the artist used a teensy brush), and the design goes all the way around.  The suede cord is very soft and comfortable.  The necklace is adjustable (about 18" to 20-1/2") with a sterling chain and a red vintage glass bead on the end.  I hand-hammered the sterling hook clasp.  Sterling silver findings.
