Several of its features point to this origin - for instance the unerring eye for design, and consummate attention to detail, combining carefully hand cut crystal beads with 'pierced' brass filigree (a Chinoiserie decorative element popular at the turn of the XXth century). The necklace is carefully constructed using two shades of red crystal - intense blood red in the larger beads at the front, and a subtly different lighter vermillon in the smaller beads. The intense red colouring - another feature of Chinoiserie jewellery created at this time - helps to identify this as high quality Czech\/Bohemian crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNecklaces such as this were an inspiration for Jakob Bengel, working in Idar-Oberstein, Germany, who later developed his own daring and innovative Chinoiserie designs, mostly using Galalith, bakelite and Czech pressed glass rather than crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that this necklace is so well preserved after 100 years, also attests to its quality and durability. It measures 15 inches in length - but we can add an extension tail to accommodate modern neck measurements. The largest bead is about 0.5 inch wide (12mm). The beads are all chain linked, making the necklace far more durable, as it never needs to be re-threaded. The fastening is a secure spring ring clasp. In great condition, remarkably well preserved in light of its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eITEM DETAILS:\u003cbr\u003eERA\/STYLE Art Deco 1920s\u003cbr\u003eMEASUREMENTS 15 inches long (a matching extension tail can be added - it's free, just drop us a line)\u003cbr\u003eMATERIALS Czech crystal, brass filigree\u003cbr\u003eSIGNATURES\/HALLMARKS None\u003cbr\u003eFASTENINGS Spring ring clasp.\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION Well preserved and in good working order. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur vintage and antique items are in good working order, ready for their new owners to wear and enjoy.
