Anne Timmons-Harris uses both vintage and modern glass beads from Venetian, French, Dutch, Bohemian, and Turkish origins. These beads are complemented with various precious and semi-precious gemstones, as well as gold and/or silver accents. The accent beads are of gold (14, 18, or 22 karat), silver, or vermeil, which is sterling silver uniformly electroplated with 1 micron of 18 karat or 22 karat gold. Each bead is individually hand-knotted for added security and a seamless necklace feel. Anne strings all necklaces on braided kevlar, linen, or silk for optimal strength and longevity.
