Description
Burnished gold metal bracelet consisting of four parts with green Peking glass stones forming stylized flowers with tiny pearls in the centers.

Peking glass is layered glass where one color is layered over another. Then the top layer is carved away, showing the underneath layer color. It was originally made in glass factories located near the city of Peking in China. During the Art Deco era, in the 1920s and 1930s, the Czechs began to make Chinese-style jewelry and did make some layered glass that was called Peking glass.
