VINTAGE VENETIAN MILLEFIORI BEADS NECKLACE with SPECTACULAR HUGE RIBBED CENTER BEAD
Unusual Venetian millefiori glass beads necklace dating to the 1920's - 30's era. Making it truly different is the center drop bead. It's ribbed and very large with the design following up each rib; alternating millefiori pattern with a solid cobalt color in each section. Other beads that are a bit different are the 2, large,semi flat, marquise shaped beads Designed in a fringe / bib design this is a vibrant, dramatic piece, a wonderful example of Italian millefiori glass bead work. Will make an awesome addition to any antique glass beads jewelry collection.
Has been re-strung and re-designed. Someone at some point in time restrung it leaving one side longer than the other. Had to resolve the length issue which caused me to re-design the center of the necklace. kept the original clasp which is in itself is unusual, It is an old simple spring ring type but with a flat thumb mechanism included on it.
Ribbed bead measures approx 28 x 20mm
No damage to the beads, they are excellent!
“Very good - excellent antique condition...Please keep in mind though we may rate vintage jewelry as in very good to excellent vintage condition, these pieces are pre-owned and may show very gentle wear. This is only pertaining to normal wear as in very slight loss of brilliance in stones, faint, barely visible scratches on metal, and patina on certain metals such as brass and silver / silver plated metal"
