Approx. 1940's Bohemian Yellow/ AB Crystal Unusual Dangle/ Trails Necklace;
This was a makers 'sample' piece so you can see the silver-coloured soldering
on the reverse; this means that there were probably not that many of these
pieces made; this piece must have represented a lot of work on behalf
of the maker, and I have never seen anything like this. The metal used
is brass, the crystal is probably Swarovski, the ovals are crystal aurora
borealis and the smaller crystals are jonquil (delicate yellow) - its
unusual to see yellow crystal used in jewellery which is a shame because
its so sunny and pretty. All stones correct and present, finished with
its original clasp, the necklace measures approx. 20 inches / 51 cm, and
the middle tendril/ trail measures approx. 5 inches / 12.5cm. A sparkling
one of a kind vintage piece. £55.00 |

in date and Bohemian in origin, satin glass was a particularly beautiful
glass produced in this region at this period of time, a combination of
opaque and translucent glass; these beautiful green beads have been patiently
decorated with pink roses and little multi coloured sprinkles on two sides
of the bead - just imagine how long that took the maker of these beautiful
creations. I have restrung these beads using Beadalon Professional and

fittings. The necklace measures approx. 18¾ inches / 47.5 cm and

Speckled Glass Bead Necklace; this is a lovely necklace in a pretty

beads where the beadmaker would use the bits of glass that fell around
him or her, reflecting the colours that he or she had been using during
the day - the largest bead measures approx 13mm, the smallest beads measure
approx. 5mm and the necklace measures approx. 17½ inches/ 44.5cm;
