Vtg 1930s Czech Art Deco Geometric Glass Dangle Drop Earrings
Why You’ll Love It. A timeless Czech gem. These glass earrings from the 1930s are a stunning shade of bright, shimmering purple that emulates the look of amethyst, yet still maintains a sleek and understated feel. Dangling freely, the inset marcasites add another layer of shimmer. Take a closer look at the unique geometric shapes and airy filigree setting that are some of the many reasons why this style and silhouette of Czech jewelry remains forever sought after. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. All marcasites are intact and in place. Secure, original screw backings. 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. Gemstones are time consuming to cut, requiring a high degree of skill from a trained craftsperson, and glass cabochons can be equally complicated to manufacture on a large scale while keeping costs down. These constraints are only a few of the reasons you often see similar shapes of stones used in jewelry. For example, for a striking look as well as a unique find. _gsrx_vers_1503 GS 9.2.1 (1503).
