Antique Art Deco Czech Bohemian Red White Art Glass Faceted Beads Double Strand Gold Tone 20? w/2? ext. Necklace 1920-1930 Art Deco Czech Bohemian Red White Art Glass Bead Double Strand Necklace RARE A Highly Sought-After Type of Costume Jewelry Produced in the Gablonz (Jablonec) Region of Czechoslovaka during the 1920's - 1930. Art Deco Czech glass necklaces of this period are characterized by their "Bohemian" style, featuring hand-faceted, pressed glass beads often in high-contrast colors, such as deep red (often referred to as cranberry or cherry red) and white (frequently opaque milk glass). This type of necklace is regarded as a classic example of early 20th-century Bohemian glasswork, which flourished after World War I, transitioning from traditional crystal to more artistic, colored designs Key Characteristics Beads: Hand-faceted (cut) glass beads, which were often fire-polished to produce a high shine. They may feature combinations of red and white beads, sometimes in two separate strands (double-strand). Structure: Often, these necklaces are hand-knotted or linked on a wire, featuring a gold-tone or brass clasp. Era: 1920s-1930s (Art Deco). Design: Often features graduated beads (smaller near the clasp, larger in the center) Rare Pieces: More complex pieces featuring additional embellishments (like filigree caps, rhinestones, or specific, rare bead shapes). Condition: Good original condition (minimal chipping, original clasp) is key to higher value.
