The CZECH were widely celebrated in the 1920's 1930's and 1940's for.
The CZECH were widely celebrated in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's for their amazing techniques in crystal and glass work, in particular their mastery of craftsmanship in turning rhinestone pieces into buttons, pendants, earrings, etc.
The unforgettable PENDANTS on this piece are testament to the Czech ability to work with stones and manipulate them into fantastic pieces.
And, imagine! These stones were buttons! Just a button, but a button with an astonishing radiance and tremendous presence, which, even in the 1930's, sold for a great deal of money because of the quality of rhinestones selected and the desirable designs.
The PENDANT on this necklace is in two-parts. The TOP portion is a CZECH button, marvelously set. It is comprised of faceted, prong-set crystals in "Shades of Gold/Brown." It measures 3" long and is 2 1/2" wide. The squared Topaz-colored rhinestone in the middle is beautifully domed.
All the rhinestones are original to this piece and all are in exceedingly fine condition: no dead, dull, yellow, missing stones.
The pendant on the bottom is totally TOPAZ-colored and beautifully stacked. It is a figural flower, massively faceted and prong-set and works perfectly with the pendant sitting above it.
Both pendants are secured with artisan-made bronze/gold jump rings.
This masterful and brilliantly shining piece attaches to a long, long strand of GENUINE GOLD PEARLS - 52." That means it has 26" drop. If you add the magnificent pendants, you gain an additional 4" plus in wearable drop length.
The GOLD PEARLS have a dynamic sheen and are very lustrous. The nacre is in excellent condition. Each has been hand knotted for security.
This wondrous piece can wrap around the neck once or twice. It can even be worn as a belt or a hair piece: wherever your imagination takes you. Leaving it long gives it that bold Art Deco/flapper necklace feeling, and, though extremely fancy due to the glittering pendants, this beauty has tremendous versatility: able to be worn by a bride, to order a big "do" or knock out with jeans and a tee.
This amazing necklace/sautoir combines multiple exceedingly high end elements to create a spectacular radiant, detailed, gleaming, ONE OF A KIND NECKLACE guaranteed to have enormous visual appeal.
