VTG MILLEFIORI GLASS BEADS FESTOON NECKLACE~BIG ROUND DISCS~BOOK CHAIN~DANGLES

Spectacular vintage millefiori glass beads festoon necklace from the 1950's-60's era. This one is truly unique featuring big round millefiori glass polished discs which are set inside gold book chain design chains. These are hand wired onto gold long link chains, three on the top and bottom of each station, with millefiori glass beads wired intermittently throughout the connecting chain making this dramatic festoon design. There are five stations altogether making a large and very striking necklace. The center station features seven long dangling drops made with the long link chain and millefiori glass beads which sway gracefully as you wear the necklace. Just stunning. The millefiori glass colors are vivid and bright, the chain is gold plated with a light gold finish and it has a barrel clasp. Each station measures 1~1/2" round altogether, the glass discs alone measure approx. 1~1/4" round. The center station with the dangles measures 3~3/4" long and the necklace measures 28~1/2" in length. And actually, you really don't need a clasp as it will fit right over the head. An amazing piece indeed, if you love Italian millefiori glass, in jewelry or anything else, this will be a wonderful piece to add to your collection.
