Each dangling set of beads, measuring 3/4" long, consists of a barrel-shaped bead and is capped with a little round bead of a different color and attached to the collar with brass hardware. Measures 16" long and closes with an old spring ring clasp. The

Filigree Edwardian Lavaliere with Lovely Pink Sets and Pink Enamel |
Pretty doesn't even begin to describe how lovely this pink filigreed and millegrained Edwardian lavaliere. Pink enamel in the shape of Flappers plumed headdress decorates the pendant portion and complimenting the three open-backed, prong-set, PINK faceted crystals. Every large filigreed link on this white metal necklace is different, save for the decorative linked chain that attaches the closure hardware. Really nice details and a strange bending on the pendant give this lavaliere uniqueness. It is as if someone has folded over the bottom pendant to make it square, but alas, it appears the maker has intended to do this. It makes the pendant protrude while being worn and frames the main, center pink crystal quite nicely. Circa 1920 and so much fun to wear. Measures 16" long...two-piece pendant hangs down another 2".

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). What a

Gutta Percha Mourning Pendant on French Jet Beaded Necklace |
This is a really neat old Victorian gutta percha and French jet mourning necklace. Circa 1860's-1870's, this necklace was born around the same time the
Civil War was happening on our own soil. Wow…what a neat piece of history! And gutta percha was really only used to make jewelry for a short period of time during this part of the Victorian period. It is a finite, rare, and collectable material, made from the sap of the Malayan tree. A sort of four-pointed star of gutta percha is mounted on a gutta percha frame, embellished with matte French jet round beads. This pendant is strung on a chain of shiny jet glass beads of all different shapes, sizes and cuts. Interesting, cool and collectable. Measures 18 1/2" long...pendant measures 2" long by 1 1/4" wide.
