Hello and thank you for viewing our listing!

We are pleased to offer you this gorgeous piece made up of vintage Czech crystal faceted pink & peach Aurora Borealis bead double-strand necklace. Measuring approximately 17.5” - 20.5” with the adjustable chain extender. I was told by multiple collectors that these Bohemia glass beads are most likely Preciosa crystal rather than glass, due to the sharp facets and faint mineral glow under fluorescence. There appears to be two colors of the Beads, the central focal point Beads are a larger peach/pink colored 11.5 mm faceted rondelle while the remainder of the Crystal beads are two graduated sizes of a slightly smaller 9.5 mm and 7.75 mm groups of faceted rondelles of a more pink/peach color. They are accentuated by a few heavily gold plated 7.5 mm melon spacer beads that are ribbed or fluted like a melon. The clasp and extender chain are also heavily yellow gold plated. The base metal is most likely brass or copper.

This wearable work of art is a stunning piece of fashion jewelry for women. The necklace features a lobster closure, yellow gold plating, and crystal materials sourced from the Czech Republic, most likely made by Preciosa. The pink and peach colors with a hint of gold create a beautiful and romantic look, perfect for various occasions. Handmade with an adjustable feature, this necklace exudes beauty, nature, and inspirational themes, making it a unique and lovely addition to any jewelry collection.

Czech Crystal Beads: True Czech crystal beads refer to glass with added minerals (historically lead) that is cut and faceted for extra sparkle and light refraction. While “glass" and "crystal" share the same base, crystal is specifically crafted to mimic the clarity and brilliance of gemstones.

Brands from this region, such as this example from Preciosa, produce exceptionally high-quality crystal, while other Czech factories focus more on opaque and decorative pressed glass beads.

Preciosa is the premier global brand for authentic Czech crystal and Bohemian glass, headquartered in Crystal Valley, Czech Republic. Established officially in 1948 by merging dozens of historic local glassworks, Preciosa carries on a 400-year-old regional tradition of elite glassmaking.
