1920s Amethyst Czech Glass Drop Necklace

Regular price $178.00

Recognized for its outstanding craftsmanship and quality, Czech glass has a rich history dating back to the 3rd century.

Originating in Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic, Czech glassmakers cultivated their own unique glassmaking techniques including the process of molding glass to create pressed glass beads as well as fire-polished finishes. These groundbreaking skills allowed for identical glass beads to be mass produced quickly and inexpensively and it revolutionized the jewelry making industry. 

The onslaught of WWI nearly collapsed the bead making industry. After the war was over, Bohemia became part of the new state of Czechoslovakia. By 1928, the Czechs were the largest bead exporter in the world until a year later when the Great Depression struck, sinking the industry once more.

Bead production started making a comeback in the mid 1930s, only to be crushed again by the turmoil of WWII when the country was split again under Nazi and Communist rule.

This stunning brass necklace was created during Czechoslovakia's heyday between WWI and the Great Depression.

It features 5 stunning amethyst colored faceted Czech glass beads in a simple, yet elegant drop design that is guaranteed to flatter any decolletage. 

Necklace fastens with a hook and chain clasp allowing the wearer to adjust the length.
