Antique Bronze & Gold Venetian Aventurine Glass Oval Bead Necklace. An extremely rare and beautifull example of Aventurine Murano glass necklace. Each bead is the unique creation of a glasswork artisan on the Italian island of Murano.
This example showcases this aventurine technique to great effect - enhancing the. With generous sparking real gold. This is an early example, punctuated with black glass spacers and brass caps and part knotted between beads. The necklace has been sympathetically cleaned and restrung. The original knotted thread was very loose and aged and the brass fastener was too worn.
It now fastens via an original antique rose gold (unstamped, so may be gold-filled) push-in clasp. Condition - Excellent Antique (restrung).
