I have no clue about this necklace, other than necklaces like it were popular in the 1930's, it could very well be from a time much later than that? but the more I look it over the more I think it's from the 1930's.
Your necklace is not made with splatter glass beads, the small rounded gold'ish colour beads at the bottom of the petal shape beads may be reflecting on the larger beads, giving them the look of splatter? Also the clasp looks far too shiny for a 30's piece of jewellery. There is a name for the style of the orange beads, which evades me at the moment. I'll come back to that.

@Gillian I'm certain that the floral beads are multi-colored red, orange, and transparent and not just reflecting the smaller beads. But now that I've done a bit more research, you are definitely correct that they can't be spatter glass, maybe they are slag glass? I got this piece at an estate sale and was told it was never seen being worn by the woman who owned it, but was a piece that was known to be tucked away in her dresser for as long as the seller ( the previous owners daughter) was alive. So maybe it's from the 40's or 50's?
