Czech, Bohemian, & Venetian glass jewelry
Our Czech jewelry, Venetian glass jewelry and bohemian and bohemian style jewelry highlight a variety of materials and settings popular in these cultures throughout history. Using glass beads, lamp work, mosaic and multi strand styles, these vintage jewelry pieces are known for their vibrancy of color and a wide variety of setting style. You’ll find delicate Venetian jewelry with glass beading and micro mosaic as well as bohemian jewelry in funky styles. Our Antique Czech jewelry highlights the true artisans from that region and you’ll certainly find something gorgeous and unique to fit in your collection.
The glass beadwork tradition from Czech and Venetian jewelry makers is well known and well cataloged. Whether in an attempt to copy the color and consistency of other materials, which often happened in bohemian jewelry making, or spurred by competition as the Venetian jewelry makers and Czech jewelry makers certainly were, we benefit today with delicate and colorful necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
The Czech jewelry and Venetian jewelry setting styles vary considerably from delicate silver work to simple strands of beads, some incorporating a pendulous, larger bead in the center and some using delicate chain work to support and showcase the fabulous glasswork.
The bohemian jewelry style also emerged from this jewelry making history during the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s using traditional and beautiful glass beads in funky styles and earthy, texture rich designs. The styles were equally fun, multi strands of different lengths and long dangling earrings.
