Bohemian costume jewellers also pioneered a technique for replicating the look of pearls, which were enormously popular at the beginning of the 20th century. Instead of using glass, jewellery makers would cut mother of pearl into beads, which were then shaped and polished until they resembled the real thing.But glass remains the Bohemia region?s most important contribution to costume jewellery. Beads rivalling those produced in Venice were strung into gaily coloured necklaces, which swung from the necks of flappers during the 1920s. Sometimes filigre-ed settings held a handful of singular glass stones. Other times, heavier rectangular brooches were crammed to their corners with rhinestones in emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and ruby red.by Courtesy of Collectors Weekly
