Transitional Nouveau Deco Necklace ~ Blue Step Glass
Simply ornate, gorgeous choker necklace in the Transitional style incorporates elements of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Translucent cobalt blue are faceted and cut in a skyline or "step" pattern, to give the appearance of baguettes graduated in size. These alternate with silvertone metal bars, etched front and back with a floral design, and are attached with metal connectors and wires threaded through the glass pieces.
The centerpiece consists of a 1" faceted unfoiled and open-backed blue glass rectangle, bezel-set, flanked by faceted pink glass baguettes and a filigree frame adorned with pink and blue enameled flowers. Though unmarked, this may be Czech in origin.
15 1/4" with spring-ring clasp. Centerpiece measures 1 3/4" across. Very good vintage condition, apart from a couple corner chips on a clasp-end glass skyline piece. The remaining glass pieces are intact, and show occasional tiny scratches or fleabites under a loupe that is consistent with age and use. - $300

Strung securely on string with alternating round and elliptical beads, separated by tiny gilt spacer beads. 19 1/2' length, with centerpiece and drops measuring approximately 3" height.

Condition is excellent apart from a small inconspicuous chip in the largest drop bead (more readily felt than seen). - $65
Ornate Gilt Filigree & Peking Glass Drop Necklace This incredible Transitional necklace, with flowing elements of Art Nouveau design, is unmarked, but most likely Czech in origin. It comes with a black-and-white photograph of a young lady wearing the piece many years ago. I wish I could tell you about her, but the necklace was passed along with this photograph, and is just looking for someone to love it anew!
The centerpiece is constructed in tiers of ornate gilt filigree work, emerald green pastes, Peking glass mottled green cabochons and beaded drops. Total height of the centerpiece is 5 3/4". The neckpieces (20 3/4" total length) are composed of round and elliptical Peking glass mottled green beads, gilt filigree caps and square beads. Spring-ring clasp. There are two teensy little green beads missing toward the back of the neck, but it's very inconspicuous (and the beads can be easily removed if you want to even it up). Condition is otherwise excellent.
