Likely Czech Glass
Glossy red beads with a subtle striping which gives them great dimension.
Red glass beads were often used in the 20th century as an affordable substitute for genuine Mediterranean coral, but developed their own distinct, desirable style.
Style: The rich color and distinct swirl pattern make this a fantastic "pop of color" or statement piece. It is a timeless, classic style that works well for both casual wear and dressing up, evoking a vintage, Mediterranean, or even traditional Eastern European folk jewelry aesthetic.
Czech Glass: Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic) was a major global hub for glass bead production in the 20th century, producing a vast array of high-quality, colorful, and detailed glass beads, including many with opaque swirls.
Adjustable 16-19”
