Filigree Camphor Glass Crystal Pendant on Sterling Chain 

This is just one of the most gorgeous pieces of 1920's jewelry that we have. Framed in a beautiful, gleaming white filigreed border (probably unmarked rhodium or Sterling coated rhodium), this handsomely carved camphor glass crystal is enhanced by a wonderful filigreed Art Deco center decorated with a single faceted "paste stone". Gorgeous period detail on the filigree and millegraine work on this one. The chain it is on is a delicious overlapping-linked chain which gives it spiraling depth. Marked "STERLING" on the spring ring, this leads us to believe that maybe the pendant is also fashioned from a Sterling base as well (quite common at this time).
