ART DECO Rare Open Back Blue Zircon Paste Crystal Bezel Set VINTAGE NECKLACE

Welcome to jewelbox :. A beauty with such rare cut glass crystals to emulate the Blue Zircons that were so highly prized during the Art Deco era. The geometric crystals are flat cut to the tops and pointy to the reverse. They are claw set in open back bezel settings so that the light can work its magic with the colour and the facets and if you look at the reverse you can see the original foil backings whcih is the resaon for the depth of the colour. These are hand linked so that they hang beautifully and at the very centre is a large baguette which is set in a very deep setting so as to protect it it must have been a pretty penny in its day. The necklace is completed with a fine trace chain which fastens with a secure ring bolt clasp. I have hung on to this for a long time because i simply did not see another in this colour. The necklace is app 16.9 inches long which is an amazing size to find as they can be so tiny. The largest crystal is app 10 mm wide and 9 mm deep. The metal has been Rhodium Plated Rhodium is a derivative of Platinum and is also used to this day to protect precious metals in Fine Jewellery. It has done a fabulous job on this and it is fresh and clean with dullness to the reverse of the bezel settings of the square crystals. There is wear to the foil on the centre backs at the pointed tips but this does not affect the gorgeous colour or shine of the crystals in wear. Gorgeous for a Special Gift or a Bridal necklace too. Any boxes, mannequins or fabrics are for display only. Everything is photographed in natural light with a flash. I do not enhance colours but there could be difference between browsers etc. We are human beings and on occasion will probably make a mistake but will do everything we can to resolve one if it happens.
