VTG ART DECO ROCK CRYSTAL QUARTZ NECKLACE Sterling SILVER Graduated GERMAN CUT
A COLLECTOR’s DREAM! Hand Cut – German Cut ROCK CRYSTAL QUARTZ Beads – – have not been made for over 50 years! Sterling Silver Periodot Fish Hook Box Clasp. GLORIOUS & RARE – VTG German Cut – Graduated TRANSPARENT ROCK CUT QUARTZ CRYSTAL Beaded NECKLACE. Sterling Silver Box Clasp marked “STERLING” on back of clasp. These breathtaking beads are German Cut and not found in modern jewelry due to its labor intensive nature and need for very skilled gem cutting artisans. Each bead is cut by hand in a graduated fashion. What makes THIS necklace particularly valuable is the fact that it is not a simple diameter increase, but because the beads are graduated, the increases must be made in width height and depth! Each crystal was cut from its matrix and the gem cutter was limited by where that matrix intruded. A collector’s dream! Beads – 6 – 17.5 mm!
