Featured Glass bead necklace

Any idea who/where/when? There was an mcm Murano fruit necklace in the same bag, from same estate so I’d guess this maybe came from same trip or purchase but just checking. Not marked.

 

The seed beads might be Czech, but they were also made on Murano. That’s one of the prettiest things.

 

That is very pretty.

 

Nice and so pretty.

 

So pretty.
They could be Japanese - these are very similar.

Ooh good call. I didn’t think Japan after seeing the Murano piece I had tunnel vision. I did have some nice lamp work beads a while back that a specialist swore up and down to me were from Japan.

I don’t know if this seller is right but it sounds logical and they are definitely the same beads.
Thanks

 

I usually forget about Japan - I'll see glass beads and immediately think Murano/Italy or Czech, then later Japan comes in as an afterthought! Some really nice jewellery came out of Japan but unless it's stamped I can never really be sure how to tell the difference.

 

I'm not surprised at Japan. Their stuff tends to be rather frilly pretty pastels, even now.
