Carefully curated, sustainable and loved vintage jewelry, knick knacks and baubles for your home and person.
Step right into the mid-century bead bazaar with this fabulous strand of vintage Venetian melon glass beads. Handcrafted in Murano, Italy, these beauties feature fluted green layers with hints of white and red, giving them that delicious “watermelon chevron” vibe.
Each bead is a little work of art, paired with tiny red spacers, brass filigree caps, and a classic barrel screw clasp straight out of the 1940s–50s. It’s a necklace that feels like it’s traveled the world—part trade bead history, part mid-century fashion statement.
✨ Details
Whether you wear it as a statement necklace or keep it as part of a bead lover’s collection, this piece has that rare global-meets-glamour charm.
💚 Quirkish Note: Each bead has its own quirky personality—slight variations and age-worn character marks are part of their decades-long journey.
Welcome and thank you for helping us re-home these amazing little pieces of art. With your help, we ensure that these pieces keep on going from generation to generation. Disclaimer: Please note that most vintage pieces will show some sign of wear. Here at Quirkish we like our vintage pieces to look…well..vintage. We love the look of aged patina. We do not, however, love dust and gunk. With the exception of antique pieces, we give each piece a gentle bath with a light vinegar solution in our ultrasonic cleaner. If you’re purchasing a brass or silver piece, we can offer a professional polish for a $10 fee.
We sincerely hope you enjoy your trinkets and wear or display them in good health, love and prosperity.
All the Best,
Roxy
