Crocheted Mesh Collar Necklace with Colorful Glass Drops, Boho Murano Style – Vintage 1980s–1990s, Textile Art

An extraordinary artisan necklace that brings together textile art and glass art.

Design

Instead of a metal chain, the collar has a delicate yet strong mesh of black thread, hand-crocheted. Woven into it are dozens of luminous, drop-shaped glass beads in emerald green, amber, cobalt blue, ruby red and crystal clear. With every movement, the drops catch the light and shimmer against skin or fabric.
