Luxury Handmade Czech Glass Blue Lampwork 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.

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 gold foil with Italian millifiori glass and dark swirls between the two layers. The bead is smooth. This bead took days to make and each bead is one-of-a-kind. The bead measures 25MM, with a depth of 8 MM. 

Atop the brass flower bead cap sits a light blue 6MM Swarovski crystal. The necklace drop is just under 1 1/2" from the hand dyed light gray silk cord. The necklace measures 17".

All sterling silver findings, with the exception of base metal fold over end caps and brass bead cap.
