Featured Czech bead necklace ID

I'm kicking myself. Yesterday morning I saw a necklace on a Facebook group with these double bead caps to look like flowers and they were attributed to a maker. I didn't pay enough attention to it to remember who it was. Clearing out my hoard a few hours later I found the exact same necklace but I'm da**ed if I can find the Facebook post again .
Anyone any ideas? I've posted on my groups with no joy.

 

@KSW I saw that post too...Vintage Jewelry of Bohemia

 

Sorry, I just re-read that post and realize you were asking the same question there. I think there is a Czech group also...?

 

Thanks @wenna I think I tracked it down now to Jakob Bengel. Now trying to verify. Some lovely jewellery on that FB page. Give me a wave next time you are there

 

Will do!

 

Jakob Bengel jewellery is extremely Art Deco, and he used early plastics like galalith, usually with minimalist chrome. Your pretty neclace would have been far too fussy for him. I think you first thought of Czech is much more likely.

Classic Jakob Bengel designs:

 

I've looked through a hundred Jakob Bengel necklaces and most are Galalith and not like this. I've found a couple, one the same as this and one with purple glass that the owners swear they are JB. I've also got people queuing up to buy it who have seen it on FB so my snout tells me I need to keep researching. I've emailed someone with a private collection and will report back!.

 

Any luck with this as I have one identical? There's one on ebay with the caps that's listed as Jakob Bengel. I found mine in a charity / thrift shop. Thanks

 

I can post a photo if you need?

 

Yes, please, we love to see jewellery. And welcome, Alma Rose.

 

@KSW
I love the pieces you show. You have an amazing stash.

I was wondering if in the future, for your necklaces, if you could start showing a picture of the full length.
When you show pictures of the necklaces all wound up I have a hard time trying to see the pattern outlay of the beads.
It may just be me and my mixed up brain. Others might not be so challenged.

If you are selling online one of these would be helpful - fairly inexpensive. They come in different heights.

 

Welcome Alma Rose .
The link with Jakob Bengel seems to be wishful thinking on the Ebay sellers part!. I contacted someone who has a huge collection of JB for sale and she thinks not. I emailed the eBay buyer asking for her sources of claiming it was JB and let’s just say I wasn’t convinced at all so it remains unattributed at the moment. Having said that I had 4 people on FB clamouring to buy them so I’m biding my time in case a maker comes to light!.

 

Lol, Thanks Cluttered , my stash is rather eclectic as I collect odds and ends that interest me to research rather than follow one path. I’m not enthused by modern stuff and I LOVE old glass beads!. Point taken about my presentation , I will make sure I show a full length photo in future . I’m never sure about the model neck things as I find it frustrating when I can’t see the clasp but most people are going to be interested in the front!. I haven’t sold many individual items, more joblots of the bits and pieces that I don’t love but I must shift some of my other pieces so I think I will invest in one.

 

Two pictures.
One of the necklace on the stand, one a close up of the clasp.
Many necklaces are too long for some of the stands. So you probably need two stands a short one and a tall one.

 

Great advice CC. Thankyou

 

I will post later today! How exciting! I have a couple if other necklaces that I have bought for resale but have hung on to as they are so lovely. My obsessions are glass and plastic (Bakelite). Infact I just love pretty things. I'm based in the UK. I also like Georgian glass. Most of my stuff is picked up in charity shops. Lovely to make contact with you all x

 

I'm in the UK too .
Look forwards to seeing your treasures.

 

Ditto with KSW.
Welcome Alma Rose

 

Hello found all of these in thrift shops and paid no more than £4 for any of them. Had every intention of selling but I can't bear to part with them. Let me know what you think! Thanks

 

You've a good eye. Can you start a new thread for these? That blue one with spatter gold is Venetian, I have its twin.
