NOUVEAU Nymph fairy CAMPHOR NECKLACE

Unavailable
This is a most amazing antique camphor glass and rock crystal necklace that has some of the most beautiful etched beads I have ever seen.( Be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them, because they truly are works of art).( I also have the matching glass stickpin on go antiques as well) The long bullet shaped ones have camphor glass ends and the insides are rock crystal. The square ones are rock crystal and they are etched on all sides. The pendant is glass ( I don’t see bubbles but I think it is glass and not crystal). IT has a nouveau reverse carved nymph, fairy like girl with a ribbon in her hands. The pendant is large ( 2" long) and has tiny flea bites on the edges. The black tubular beads are also glass and are hand wired onto each other. The bullet shaped beads are large ( 1" x ½) and have sides like prism and tops of a beautiful nouveau design ( these beads are HIGHLY collectible and worth quite a bit of money on their own). The cube beads are ½" square. The total length of this ( not including the 2" pendant is 28" long ( which is long for this type of necklace). The black beads are hand blown Czech beads. Considering this is well over 80 years old it is in very good condition. Just the pendant with the flea bites seems to be the only wear. And Camphor glass in nouveau pieces is very desirable ( camphor is a term used to describe a rock crystal or colorless quartz. Ever so common in and around 1920’s jewelry making).
