Vintage Cobalt Blue Faceted Glass Bead Flapper Necklace

This is a vintage opera-length necklace, often referred to as a 'flapper' style due to its continuous, over-the-head design. The piece is constructed from cobalt blue translucent glass, featuring a variety of bead shapes. The majority of the strand is composed of small, faceted rondelle or bicone beads. The lower portion of the necklace serves as a focal point, incorporating two large elongated teardrop pendant beads and two flat circular disc-shaped beads with beveled edges. The craftsmanship utilizes a knotted or tightly strung cord, which appears to be in good structural condition. The deep blue color is consistent throughout, reflecting light beautifully through the multifaceted surfaces. Based on the style and bead geometry, this piece likely dates to the Art Deco period or mid-20th century. While no visible maker's marks are present on the glass, the quality of the faceting indicates manual or semi-automated glass cutting common in European centers like Bohemia (Czech Republic) or Venice. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or fractures in the glass beads, though light surface scratches consistent with age may be present upon closer inspection.
