A stunning and increasingly rare vintage Czech art glass bead necklace representing the extraordinary glassmaking
craftsmanship of the Bohemian/Jablonec and Nisou region of Czechoslovakia during the Art Deco era.
This beautiful piece features hand-faceted 5-sided (pentagonal) clear glass focal beads with mesmerizing
internal orange vertical striping, creating a gorgeous
layered "candy-stripe" visual effect that catches and refracts light beautifully. This
specific pentagonal cut combined with internal striping is one of the most
technically demanding and
rarest forms of Czech glass bead production, and authentic examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the open
market.

RARITY & AUTHENTICITY
- The 5-sided pentagonal cut with internal striping is among the rarest and most sought-after Czech glass bead forms
- Produced in Czechoslovakia as a unified nation — a historically significant distinction as the country ceased to exist in 1993
- Authenticity confirmed by hand-faceting irregularities, bead-to-bead size variations, and internal striping technique consistent with genuine period Czech production
- No hallmarks -typical and
expected for Czech glass jewelry of this era
- Continuously growing collector demand meeting
shrinking supply makes authentic examples increasingly valuable
GOOD LUCK!
