A circa 1930s Czech (Bohemian) bead necklace featuring yellow faceted glass beads believed to be uranium (Vaseline) glass. The beads display a soft marbled appearance in daylight and glow under UV light, a characteristic associated with uranium glass. Interspersed with clear glass spacer beads, the design is typical of Czech interwar jewellery.
The necklace appears to have been restrung at some point and would benefit from restringing again, as the current thread shows fraying (see photos). The spring ring clasp is likely a later replacement.
