30s/40s Art Deco Rock Crystal And Sterling Silver Necklace$125.00
Excellent condition, size OS.
Overall Length - 16 inches
Fun fact: in the Middle Ages, people didn't really care about diamonds--they didn't have the technology to cut them. What they loved was rock crystal (aka quartz).
This is a beautiful, sparkly rock crystal necklace, very well made. I don't know the name for the special cut of the front beads--a sort of bowtie look--but it adds a lot of visual interest.
The beads are between 4 and 10 mm wide, and they're graduated according to size. They are strung on sterling silver, and the clasp is sterling as well.
Weighs 36 grams.
This is really a spectacular piece.
From a nonsmoking, pet-loving home.
Thank you for visiting!
