Description
This is a most unusual and gorgeous original 1920s authentic flapper era long Czech glass necklace. It is 31″ long, easy to wear, slip over head length. It also has its original brass jump ring and clasp along with a very teeny/tiny brass key fob. The green Czech glass beads alternate from medium Peking glass color to a darker green with a swirl pattern throughout particularly on the smaller round bead within each multi-bead element. Each round bead is encapsulated by larger curved beads on both sides that flare out like leaves or flowers. Those larger beads are a mix of green that are muted together while the small round beads have a more distinct swirl. These swirls and overlapping shades of color are characteristic of 1920s Czech poured glass jewelry. Size of each round bead is 5mm while each 3 bead element is 12m to 13m long. Overall condition is excellent. The glass still retains its wonderful shiny highly polished finish. These were well kept in an estate from many decades ago and are still crisp and clean with noticeable greens for which poured Czech glass from the 1920s is well known. A gorgeous necklace for your antique Art Deco poured glass jewelry collection.
About Czech Poured Glass Jewelry Google ai:
1920s poured glass Czech necklaces in green are characteristic Art Deco pieces often featuring vibrant, molded, or “Peking” glass, frequently combined with ornate brass, filigree, or black glass accents. These necklaces often highlight geometric designs, moss green shades, or mottled green glass, featuring pendant drops and beaded chains.
Key Features and Common Styles:
Material: Often referred to as “Peking” glass, molded glass, or pressed glass, sometimes in shades mimicking jadeite or moss green.
Design: Typical of the 1920s Art Deco era, featuring geometric, floral, or Egyptian Revival styles.
Components: Frequently paired with brass filigree, stamped brass settings, or black glass tassels and beads.
Colors: Shades range from deep emerald green to lighter moss or lime green.
Markings: Many are marked “Czechoslovakia” or “CZECHOSLOV” on the clasp or jump ring.
Length: Often designed as shorter, statement necklaces (around 15-18 inches), though flapper-style, longer lengths also exist.
These antique pieces are considered highly collectible and often show minor, expected wear like small “fleabites” (tiny nicks).
