Lovely glass bubble necklace worn by Hilary Kay (from Antiques Roadshow)

Hello

Does anyone know where I can get a glass bubble necklace similar to the one worn by Hilary Kay - one of the experts on Antiques Roadshow?

She has been wearing it for the past couple of weeks.

It just looks like she's wearing bubbles round her neck - I think they're suspended from a fine silver chain.

Many thanks!

Well I've searched and searched and eventually found one that was pretty close - it's made in Italy by Marina and Susanna Sent , from Murano glass but the only supplier I could find was the Museum of Modern Arts in New York (MOMA). Mine arrive yesterday from the USA - it cost �101.00 plus (wait for it) �34.00 in import duty and handling fees!!!

As long as it bring a smile to my wife's face on valentines day it's worth it!

By the way - it's not a delicate as it looks - the glass bubbles are actually quite thick glass (handmade) it's all threaded together with Nylon (fishing line?) - it not a silver chain - just the nylon line.

Kind regards,

Mark.
