ENAMEL BOOKCHAIN Egyptian Necklace & ER

Unavailable
Right from the 1900’s comes this massive highly collectible book chain choker ( earrings are a free bonus and not original to it).I also have a matching bracelet and brooch on Go Antiques. This pendant has turquoise and coral enamel as well as a huge turquoise cab center stones and two accent stones. The pendant is a whopping 3" long with metal work on it that is just amazing. The tiny scrolled work around the bezel and the raised relief metal bead work is right out of a Cleopatra movie. And it is HEAVY. The enamel book chain is made of 60 links with beaded circles. The part around the neck is 15". I believe the clasp has lost its color or it was replaced many years ago ( it is not newer). This is a piece for high end collectors and one that will get you a LOT of compliments, In all my years of selling and buying I have never seen another like it. The earrings are a bonus and they went well with it. They are clip on with turquoise insets and seed pearl adornments. They are 1 ¾" long. There is some wear on them.
