Description
This necklace was hand wired withlampworked vintage Czech glass
. Czech glass is known for its longstanding tradition of fine quality.
These particular Czech beads are green and blue with beautiful ink black flecks and light green veining similar to turquoise and jade.
The green cabochon is pressed (molded) glass with a high dome and a Art Deco styled bullet shape. The glass is set in an expensive gold toned brass bezel. The quality is evident: the bezel's setting has two levels and the cabochon sits not on the bottom of the bezel but a layer above. The back of the bezel has a lovely flower-like design.
The small blue-green beads are not completely round: they are purposely dented and misshapen, like small turquoise nuggets.
All findings and spacers in the necklace are
unused vintage
(New/Old) gold toned stock, thicker and denser than those of today's market. Notice the
filigree
box clasp and the leaf bale, specially chosen to complete the design.
Almost all items in this necklace are vintage and of a very
fine quality
. All work is
hand wired
