[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 422776, member: 2844"]Welcome to the forum, Tricia. It is a very pretty necklace, great colour. And nice photos. I am not a costume joolie, but it does look like a Bohemian or Czech necklace to me. Two names for the same region, but different eras. The Austro-Hungarian region of Bohemia became part of independent Czechozlovakia after 1918. Bohemia always remained the same of course, but in glass and jewellery terms people differentiate between the two periods using the names Bohemian and Czech. Czech glass jewellery is often marked, but not always. Bohemian is not marked, as far as I know. Those spring ring clasps were already used in Europe in the 1840s, so that doesn't define it as post-1930, just post-1840. The Bohemians made jewellery in 19th century styles longer than others. My guess would be the 1910s or 20s, but others may be able to tell you more. Maybe [USER=111]@DragonflyWink[/USER] recognizes it?[/QUOTE]
