Czech Please!

Prior to World war I, "czech" jewelry was mostly unmarked, and called bohemian.  In 1918, the Czechs and Slovaks united and were freed from the rule of Austria and Hungary, and the land they now lived in became known as Czechoslovakia. (A little history lesson! Who knew!).  I am always amazed at how beautifully made these pieces are.  You can find this one here.
