Sterling silver charm necklace with lampwork glass bead and blue crystal accents

Introduction to silver and artisan bead jewellery

Artisan jewellery from the late twentieth century brought together traditional materials with small scale creative workshop practices. Sterling silver remained the preferred setting metal for independent makers who often collaborated with lampwork bead artists and crystal suppliers.

Description of the sterling silver charm necklace

The necklace is formed of a fine sterling silver snake chain fitted with a lobster clasp and marked 925 on the clasp tag. Suspended from two interlinked silver rings is a cluster of charms that form the central focus of the piece. The grouping includes a handmade lampwork bead created in deep brown glass with applied light blue polka dots and finished with a silver bead cap.

Alongside it hang two faceted crystal drops, one amber coloured and one iridescent blue, together with a flat silver star charm marked 925. The components move freely when worn and catch the light in different ways.

Condition

There is light surface wear to the silver charms and chain. The necklace remains in good overall condition.

Why You Should Buy

This is a lively and characterful piece of silver jewellery that adds colour and personality without feeling overstated.
