Sterling Silver Pendant with Purple striped Art Glass Bead from Bead It

This is a distinctive sterling silver pendant featuring a large, eye-catching purple striped art glass bead designed to hang from a chain or cord. The piece is hallmarked “925” confirming authentic sterling silver construction, with additional markings  “Bead It,” indicating this is from the Bead It jewelry collection or compatible bead system.
The focal point is a substantial oval-shaped lampwork or Murano-style glass bead in purple tones with  plum/burgundy striped patterns running vertically through the translucent glass. The bead has a smooth, polished finish with a high-gloss surface that beautifully catches and reflects light, creating visual depth and movement within the glass.
The bead is secured within an elegant sterling silver bail framework with squared-off side supports and decorative scroll details that grip the bead’s core. This appears to be an interchangeable design similar to popular European-style charm bead systems, allowing the bead to potentially be swapped out for different glass beads. The hinged or snap-style bail mechanism makes changing beads straightforward while keeping them secure during wear.
The pendant shows light wear consistent with use but remains in excellent wearable condition. This style bridges fashion jewelry and artisan glasswork, offering a bold, colorful statement piece with quality silver construction. Perfect for wearing on a silver chain, leather cord, or omega necklace.
