Red Tombo Bead Necklace, Millefiori Jewelry

This red tombo bead necklace is handmade with vintage teardrop beads. The beads, also known as tombo dama, are lampwork beads from Japan made using a millefiori technique. They have a distinctive abstract floral pattern in a bright array of colors. These beads were made in the 1960s-1970s. Due to their handcrafted nature, each bead varies slightly in shape, size, and floral pattern, which means this striking necklace is one of a kind. The necklace is 17 inches in length and has a silver-plated brass hook & eye clasp.
