My Valentine's necklace

Those who know me are quite aware that I'm not a 'hearts' kind of girl.  I don't generally wear them, and I most certainly don't decorate with them (Valentine's being the exception).  However, I have had a gold-colored Venetian glass bead in my possession for more than a decade.  This bead was purchased for me by a friend when she visited Italy.  It is a gorgeous bead, and I decided it was high time it lived on display, rather than in storage.

Strangely enough, I find myself drawn to some of the steam punk-styled jewelry.  I like the vintage feel; the random layouts of it.  So, I gave it a whirl.  I'm not sure how steam punk some fans would consider this piece, but it certainly incorporates a variety of elements...
