This has been in my "Antique Box" for decades. Don't know what it was. Could have been part of a necklace, or maybe even a handle on something. The table cut glass beads are woven into a "tube", giving the look of being twisted. Hoping it will inspire imagainations and creativity. Otherwise, just take it apart and use the beads, which are antique, teens to 20s.

The last photos show more interesting vintage jewelry supplies and stones in shop, if still available.

This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Northfield, OH.
