Iridescent Glass Bead Necklace by WMF | Art Deco Design | German c.1920s

Description
Made in Germany in the 1920s by Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), it’s strung with perfectly matched 6mm iridescent glass beads, each one softly glowing in shifting tones of gold, rose, lilac and copper.
The colours change with the light and with movement, giving the piece a sense of life that only becomes apparent when it’s worn.
Best known for their Art Nouveau silver and decorative objects, WMF also created a small collection of jewellery like this, where elegant design met beautiful material.
The tactile glass beads were likely sourced from Bohemian makers, whose craftsmanship was renowned for this kind of subtle, luminous finish.
At 40cm in length, it sits just at the collarbone.
