PLEASE READ the MEASUREMENTS. Photos do not show actual size! Have a tape measure handy. I never shop for online jewelry without one. Heavy Rhodium Plating over Sterling, most likely, and I didn’t test for fear of compromising the integrity of the rhodium bond. Plating gives a bright, shiny, long-lasting, silver-colored finish to a piece and is often found on quality vintage as well as contemporary jewelry. A rare silver-white metal of the Platinum family, Rhodium is not only the most expensive precious metal, but is also hypo-allergenic and doesn’t change color like sterling silver. 1930s Art Deco Era Lavalier Necklace. Composed almost entirely of. 2-piece Pendant Drop with a Faceted, Bezel Set Peridot Paste Crystal. Patent #1257158 found on clasp underside and dates to 2-19-1918. The last 3 reference photos are from 1931 &’32 catalogs depicting Filigree Necklaces. The last states they are “rhodium finished sterling” and guaranteed nontarnishable. Excellent Vintage condition with very minor wear considering the age! The Rhodium plating has done its job and kept the metal tarnish free. Please view all photos to judge for yourself keeping in mind that they’re high def Canon pics which exaggerate any blemishes that may be present. 17.75″ Princess length, 2-3/8″ L x 7/8 W drop section, 18 x 12 mm paste, 13.4 grams.
