19″ with pendant dropping another 2 3/4″ below. Why You’ll Love It. It’s not sapphire or teal. This 1930s Art Deco glass necklace is the perfect shade of robin’s egg blue, which was made to emulate Persian turquoise. Set in brass, this necklace strays from the more commonly found hues of glass for a show-stopping effect. The artistry and variety of shapes and sizes of glass put its rich color center stage. Warm patina with some surface wear and darkening to the setting. No dents or misshapen spots. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. On Glass Made to Emulate Gemstones. Glass has long been used by jewelers to simulate natural gemstones. For instance, during the Georgian era, black dot paste is a term that refers to a style of glass that was made to simulate the sparkle of natural diamonds. But in the 1940s, the use of glass to simulate gemstones ramped up more than ever before. World War II constrained both fine materials and pocketbooks, so more and more designers (including high-end designers) focused on glass to re-create the distinctive properties of different gems. High-end designers thus began making costume glass jewelry – but with the same attention to detail, high craftsmanship, and design skill that was applied to fine jewelry. Gemstones are time consuming to cut, requiring a high degree of skill from a trained craftsperson, and glass cabochons can be equally complicated to manufacture on a large scale while keeping costs down. These constraints are only a few of the reasons you often see similar shapes of stones used in jewelry. For example, for a striking look as well as a unique find. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
