Hi Nishedha,

Based upon their size and shape, I imagine that they are more likely Venetian Murano glass. And perhaps from the mid to late sixties, because of the burnt orange color choice. I am always willing to be wrong and appreciate hearing from others.

they look as though their holes are smaller than venetian bead holes so my guess would be Czech.

Does anyone have experience with Czech beads like these?

Are the perimeter of the holes pointed, sharp and unworn -like a cheaply made new bead?

Just Fred

just today in my cataloguing project i've been looking at these- elements in a Czech beads choker, which include sprinkled ovals that are additionally decorated with those small "filigree" metal cups attached around the sides as if they were murrina by melting the glass to hold them in position. i feel this necklace is in 1930s taste, rather than recent.
the image follows-

Hi Stefany,

You certainly are familiar with these beads.

Have you also experienced:
1930's raised "confetti" crumbs with a matte surface?
Also, would these have necessarily been acid etched?
I can now see how the fragile pointed apertures were
protected from wear by the end caps.

Thank you very much,
Just Fred

Yes, small holes! The beads strung on a cheap looking choker -- see the clasp! But instead of metal cups, the beads are prevented from rubbing against their neighbours by a short length of rolled wire (you can see it on the pic).
