Have a couple of questions about this bead necklace - vintage

This pretty necklace is made up of several different beads but I don't know what they are called.  One type of  bead is encrusted with tiny bits of colored glass.  The other bead I need a name for are the clear round beads that have gold inside.  I believe the necklace dates to early 20th century based on the fishhook closure.

 

Thanks for looking!DSC05056.JPGDSC05057.JPGDSC05058.JPGDSC05059.JPG

Have a couple of questions about this bead necklace - vintage

When I started collecting over 30 years ago, the beads with the bits of glass were called Fritz beads, now days I believe they are called Lampwork beads.  The other bead was called Encased, don't know if there is a more "modern day" name for them.  

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.
