European Art Deco necklace from the late 1920's to early 1930's showcases brilliant fuchsia pink unfoiled crystal stones set in gold washed brass settings.

Fourteen crystals are set in open back settings to form a cluster of grapes with an overlay of three metal leaves.   This beautiful centerpiece hangs from two brass chains suspended from four more crystals. Even the push-in clasp has been decorated with another crystal. Some plating wear to the metal, which is to be expected in this vintage, but the crystals have that shine that is no longer duplicated today, which gives this necklace instant appeal. Secure push-in clasp on necklace that measures 14". The beautiful centerpiece measures 2" x 2" (top).  

Excellent vintage condition.

This wonderful crystal Art Deco necklace is from the "White Period" of costume jewelry, 1930 -1939. Black and white are a common Art Deco combination and these crystals are strung on white metal wire. This dog collar style necklace is designed to be worn high on the neck and measures 13" long with a secure decorative clasp of piecework flowers. I purchased this necklace at an auction in New York and was told this came from an Erte production in the 1930's. It is not signed in anyway, which makes a positive attribution impossible. A great example of Art Deco this necklace is in excellent condition.

This incredible crystal necklace is from the 1960's and is composed of loops of AB crystals and unique "nugget" crystals that are clear on the outside with a lining of bright pink that are sewn to a "lame" fabric backing.   This necklace was handmade and is more than likely a "one of a kind". The push in clasp is covered with prong set AB crystal rhinestones. This necklace is from the estate of a former runway model that had many incredible pieces that came from her days on the catwalk. This exquisite neckpiece has an inside measurement of 14". The drop of beads is 2" around. This necklace was probably designed for a certain outfit and could be special ordered through the designer. Unfortunately, there are no markings on this piece to give a clue to the designer, but it is well made and gorgeous!

Excellent Condition.

Pretty late 1950's, early 1960's red Lucite and gold plated metal necklace has graduated cherry red Lucite rectangles prong set in gold plated open back setting.   Necklace is 16" long and closes with a barrel screw closure. Necklace is in very good condition, there is some plating wear to the back of the necklace but this cannot be seen when worn.

This wonderful necklace was purchased at the estate sale of a former runway model in New York City. This very different necklace is prong set of milk glass stones with purple chatons and unique centerpiece stone of iridescent glass from the 1960's. This former model had many unique pieces that came from her days on the catwalk.   This neckpiece is not signed in anyway so there is no determination for designer, but several jewelry experts that I have shown it to, believe it is Italian. Necklace is adjustable to 14" and is in excellent condition.

This piece would pair wonderfully with a sheer tunic and white jeans for the Summer.

This necklace was purchased from a woman who told me this had been in her family and traveled from Germany to America when the Holocaust started in the 1930's. She told me her mother sewed numerous pieces of jewelry into the families clothing to hide it. The necklace is a bolo style and has a slide to make it shorter or longer. There are no marks on this piece. The slide has a wonderful huge piece of art glass that looks like expensive opal and the ends have detailed wolf or bear heads with blue glass rhinestones. A very interesting piece with an interesting story to pass along with it; the necklace is 22" long and the bolo clasp can be placed at different lengths along the herringbone chain. This has been in my collection since the early 1980's and has been well cared for and is in excellent vintage condition.

This incredible necklace was made in the early 1990's from vintage Swarvoski pagoda beads in the vintage shade of wisteria. Swarvoski no longer makes this particular shade of bead. This exquisite neckpiece is all about the beads! Two strands of these wonderful beads have been linked together with 20 long dangles of more of this iridescent bead hanging from the strands. These beads look like tiny disco balls only flat like a potato chip; in fact many designers call these the "potato chip bead". This necklace flashes colors of blue, purple, green, and teal! It measures 14" long with twenty 4" long dangles, ten on each strand. This necklace is one of a kind!

Excellent Condition.

There are a few tiny flea bite nicks in a couple of the beads, but for its age and all glass beads it is in very good vintage condition.
