'Eye of the Peacock' Murano Glass Necklace c1930
Iridescent drops of color speckle pearlescent light green beads in this Murano glass masterpiece! Each bead is its own work of art, hand blown to create its own unique beauty– no two are exactly the same! This kind of art glass can only have come from Venice, Italy where the most coveted and unique pieces have been blown for nearly 1500 years! This style is known as 'eye of the peacock' for its colorful, metallic spots. Each spot's sheen is likely made through a background of silver foil featuring different patterns of blue, red, and yellow atop. We believe this necklace to date back to the 1920s or 30s. The beads are graduated and knotted in between. They range in size from 6 mm to 15 mm. The necklace is about 34 inches in length. The beads are in perfect condition aside from one bead that has lost a spot but is otherwise intact.
