Description
Subtly iridescent, leaf-shaped Bohemian glass beads alternate with soft pink art glass beads in this nature-inspired—and American-made—necklace. The botanical forms nod to the Art Nouveau era, when Bohemian glassmakers became known for richly colored decorative beads—part of the long tradition of jewelry design reflected in the National Museum of American History's costume collection. This extra long necklace can be worn doubled or as one dramatic strand.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
