Czech Glass Pink Oval Lamp Work Necklace on Silk Cord

Part of our Luxury Czech glass collection. These amazing beads are made by hand using the very old technique of lamp work.

Photos do not do justice to this piece of art.

We recently visited Jablonec, Czech Republic, the Czech glass bead making capital of the world. We visited several "factories" and hand chose some of the most beautiful beads in the world.

The bead is similar to Venetian Foil in that gold foil is on the inside of the glass. The outer glass is clear which shows the foil with swirls of red, light blue and pink in front of the gold foil. The bead is smooth. This bead took days to make and each bead is one-of-a-kind. The bead measures 20MM x 17MM, with a depth of 6MM. 

Atop the bead sits a brass "pineapple" flower bead cap and a light pink AB 4MM Swarovski crystal bicone. The pendant drop is just under 1 1/4" from the hand dyed pink silk cord. The necklace measures 17".

Sterling silver findings, including head pin, lobster clasp, split ring and 2MM round spacer.

Metal alloy fold over crimps.
