Beaded vintage lace

I acquired several yards of this beautiful early 1900's lace. It was to delicate to pull through a bead. I first strengthened the lace with a layer of fabric stiffener product. When dry and clear, I stitched on silver tube beads and pearls by hand.  Then I attached acrylic crystals (lighter in weight than regular crystals) and pearls with tiny rings to the outer embroidered edge of the lace. I added a silver closure.
Voila! a pretty, delicate, re-purposed vintage lace necklace.
