you can look and see turquoise colour lamp work glass beads with splashes of the mottled grey, but i suddenly saw them the other way round, with similar effect to what "KFM" describes in such wonderful technical detail-- being white glass mottled with grey as the body of the beads, covered in places with some random swirls of the turquoise. Then they clearly showed as glass, maybe dipped in acid etch to avoid being shiny...
made in a limited edition batch of graduated sizes-
the date if not the exact country of origin could be determined from the necklace length.
if its approximately twice the length of a choker then its likely to be 1930s, if short enough to hang in an open shirt collar then maybe 1950s? this is why i always hope to be shown or told the length...
