This beautiful piece was inspired by the Art Deco Era! The Art Deco Era is famous for being the “Gatsby” or “Roaring Twenties” Era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. During the Art Deco Period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Lavalieres are necklaces that included a chain or small link necklace, fairly long, that terminates in a single large pendant or tassel, which in turn often has additional pendants or tassels dangling from it; though named for a mistress of Louis XIV, the style is usually associated with turn-of-the-20th century jewelry, and remained popular into the 1930s. Sapphiret Glass is a rare form of glass that was first made in Czechoslovakia & Germany during the Edwardian Era. This glass was made by adding real gold to sapphire colored molten glass which created an amazing color combination that varied slightly for each glass depending on the type of gold used. Production of this glass halted for the most part when gold prices soared, which made this glass even more rare! PLEASE WAIT FOR AN UPDATED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING FOR YOUR ITEMS.
