| Description: |
This exquisite necklace was most likely part of a
micro mosaic |
| |
suite consisting of the necklace and a pair of earrings, now
missing. |
| |
|
| Condition: |
Very fine to excellent condition. The
chain clasp is marked |
| |
Sterling, but is not original,
and was replaced probably in the mid-1900’s. Few of the glass pieces in the pendulums are slightly
chipped on the surface along their silver border, but none are
missing. The silver has a nice age patina and was not cleaned
intentionally. |
