$62.00
Ask a question
Marked Czech, and steeped in a particular kind of dramatic beauty. This vintage graduated necklace is strung in hand-knotted black cord — the traditional mark of careful, considered construction — each bead a deeply faceted sphere of jet-black glass that catches light in quiet, flickering planes. The beads graduate from delicate at the back to substantial and commanding at the front, where a large faceted black glass box clasp serves as both closure and centerpiece.
Czech black glass has a long and storied history as the accessible answer to Victorian jet mourning jewelry, worn first in grief and later reclaimed as pure gothic elegance. This necklace carries both histories gracefully. Hand-knotted cord shows age; beads are intact and brilliant. A wearable piece of European glass jewelry history.
