Venetian Style Murano Glass Lampwork Bead Necklace
Unbranded (likely Italian export or artisan made) · Jewelry & Watches > Necklaces
Era / Decade
1990s-2000s (based on bead style and nylon cord/clasp expectations common in mass-import boutique jewelry)
Material
Glass beads including floral 'Sommerso' or 'Millefiori' styles, metallic spacers, and likely a base-metal clasp on a jewelry wire or cord.
Condition
Good. Beads appear intact without obvious cracks or chips through the display glass; stringing appears taut with no fraying.
Demand Level
Moderate. Bohemian and 'Eclectic Grandpa' aesthetics are currently popular, but unbranded glass jewelry is a saturated market.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value

Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded Murano-style glass bead necklaces typically sell for $12-$22 on eBay and up to $30 on Etsy if curated well.
Description
Lovely vintage-style glass bead necklace featuring deep cobalt blue lampwork beads with rose-pink floral internal details. Accented by small gold-tone spacers and translucent seed beads on a thin strand. Elegant, lightweight design perfect for everyday wear or a bohemian aesthetic.
Key Features
Hand-blown look lampwork beads, floral motifs, classic blue and pink color palette, lightweight versatile length.
Authenticity Indicators
Handmade variations in glass bead size/pattern indicate real glass (not plastic). Lack of any '925' mark on spacers suggests costume rather than fine jewelry. Confidence: High (as glass beads).
Flaws to Note
Possible tarnishing on metallic spacers; visible price tag suggests it is pre-owned. No visible damage to glass.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy, Depop, or Poshmark. These platforms favor the 'vintage' or 'cottagecore' aesthetic this piece provides.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a white background to show the translucency of the glass. Use keywords like 'Lampwork', 'Art Glass', 'Boho', and 'Millefiori'. Measure the exact length (likely 16-18 inches) and include that in the listing.
