Vtg 1920s Art Deco Venetian Glass Millefiori Tabular Glass Bead Flapper Necklace

With its elongated silhouette, made to move and sway, this 1920s necklace was made with the flapper dame in mind. This particular piece is unique for its sautoir style, braided strands of tiny seed beads and the addition of large, tabular shaped, millefiori glass beads. The necklace was conceived with the beautiful hand-made Italian beads as a design starting point, the monochromatic color palette carefully chosen to show them off. Draping loops of tiny glass beads (note the striking placement of the bi-colored ones) dangle freely at the bottom, enhancing even further, the playful rhythm of this necklace when worn. This piece is fresh looking and must have been tucked away and well. Taken care of, or worn infrequently. The glass is smooth and gleaming without any chipping or surface wear. The strand is intact without any beads missing or gaps or loosening in the necklace. There are no irregularities to the setting or signs of solder or repair, the components are original and the piece has a firm shape. 35.5″ with pendant dropping 6 1/5″. No clasp, necklace slips over your head. Czech or bohemian glass created from the end of the Victorian era through the mid-century was world-renowned for its unprecedented resemblance to natural gemstones. Skilled craftsman from the region engineered new methods of cutting and coloring glass to simulate the look of rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and more. In addition, Czech glass jewelry makers were highly trained in the metalwork for the settings around the glass. The Czech region produced so many different styles (all of superb quality) that Czech glass pieces have become their own collectable category. Figural jewelry includes any piece that has been shaped into an animal, person, object, or detailed “day in the life” scene. Antique and vintage figural jewelry is often quite charming and collectible for the realistic or cutesy details. Specific objects or animals became popular and prolific in jewelry during certain time periods, Scotty dogs during the 1940’s for example, or swallow birds during the Victorian era. Figural jewelry is special for its detail and realism but also tells the story of the decade they were made in. _gsrx_vers_1251 GS 8.2.1 (1251).
