Product Description

 

Special Note: photos were taken outside on a rainy day and what looks to be a flaw or crack in the stones is actually the reflection of the edge of the roof of my house

 VINTAGE JADE AND GLASS LAVALIER NECKLACE

Unique Statement Piece
Czech? Eastern European? India?
A bit of a mystery as to where it was made 
 
 Originally the pendant did not have a neck chain
so I added these beautiful green Jade beads to it which I restrung  
to make this  a wearable necklace

Dated to the 1930's era (all components)
The jade beads are graduated in size with
the largest center beads measuring 12mm and 15mm round.
 Those are the ones you see dropping down to to the pendant
as well as the one hanging down in between the long drops. 
I added those to the design, they have beautiful bead caps on them.

The pendant features filigree brass metal, intense green glass cabochons
and round glass beads set in it.  Has design elements of czech jewelry as well as maybe Eastern India.it's a spectacular piece whoever made it. 
 It has 5 dangles dropping down from it which also have the glass cabs set in them.
Intentionally distressed metal where the glass stones are set gives it an ancient look  
As stated above, he pendant lookslike it could be  Czech but the long dangles don't look Czech to me. 

Even so, it rivals Czechoslovakian lavalier pendants I've had in the past. 
The unusual glass cabs are not solid green but show
variation in the green shade in them. Their color is an intense, rich
 almost teal green that shows a lighter misty background green shade. 
This can be seen in the photos.

Nothing is wrong with any of the stones, a reflection which is seen in the last photo
 makes look as if there is a problem with the large center stone.
It's just something that showed up when taking the photo 
It was also starting to rain when I was taking the pics outside
so the other small spot there is a raindrop.
 
The pendant is in good vintage condition.
 The only thing to point out is the metal in the dangle drops shows what look to be scratches.
 I think these were done in the making of the piece, maybe to give it a distressed look.
 Regardless of that, it does not affect the beauty of the pendant in my opinion.

 Altogether a dramatic and beautiful necklace to wear anytime.

Measures as follows: Neck length - 16~1/2"

Center drop - approx. 3~3/8" long at the longest drop point x 2~2/16" across

Total drop length from the necklace - 6"
