A wonderful graduated rock crystal necklace from the Art Deco era, c1930! The necklace is made up of sparkling rock crystals, (or otherwise known as natural clear quartz!) which are beautifully calibrated from small at the back neck to large at the front. The colorless or 'icy' rock crystals are hand-cut into classic round beads and each are faceted, reflecting shards of light with every motion. The necklace has been securely hand strung with silver looped wire and is finished with an original bolt ring clasp stamped 'STERLING ITALY'.
A nice classic length on the neckline falling at 17" inch (43.50cm) long, and size of the quartz beads measure 12.50mm largest to 5.00mm smallest.
The necklace was acquired with a matching pair of Art Deco Rock Crystal Earrings. *Selling separately.
A wonderful Art Deco necklace. A piece which would add a glistening finesse to any outfit by itself, or layered with other favorites!
