The CZECH were widely celebrated in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's for their amazing techniques in crystal and glass work, in particular their mastery of craftsmanship in turning rhinestone pieces into buttons, pendants, earrings, etc.

These pieces became known world-wide and were purchased largely by the very rich to use as extremely ornate buttons on their gowns and capes, and adornments for their evening bags and hats.

The buttons are, of course, more rare today, but are massively coveted. Just one of them can elevate an outfit from "nice" to "sensational."

They are not these days only used AS buttons, but turned into pendants, pins, earrings, etc. - at least by me. In this case, this marvelous, hand made extraordinary BUTTON from 90 years ago was transformed into a pendant.

The unforgettable vintage CZECH PENDANT on this piece stands as testament to the Czech ability to work with stones and manipulate them into fantastic pieces.

The PENDANT on this necklace is sensational. Measuring 2" in length1 1/2" wide and with an impressive depth of 3/8," it is comprised of a central, domed, powerfully faceted, deep AMETHYST enormous prong-set crystal. The faceting is so fantastic as to give this stone PRISMATIC QUALITIES and set it apart from all other.

Presumably designed to resemble a flower, this purple radiant center is surrounded by multiple other PRONG-SET amazing stones.

Orbiting around the central stone are massively faceted clear crystals in both navette and chaton, completing the "flower."

Hanging from the bottom of this marvelous piece is a 1/2" in diameter, slightly domed, very deeply faceted AMETHYST stone bezel set in gold.

All of these pieces together a phenomenal and brilliant visual banquet.

All rhinestones are ORIGINAL to the piece and in stellar condition.

The PEARL NECKLACE itself measures 50" in length, which means it has a 25" drop. If you add the pendants, you gain an additional 2 7/8" in wearable drop length.

The pearls can be worn long, like a flapper necklace or doubled. They have a grand luster and their nacre is wonderful. They are BAROQUE and so possess those natural markings endemic to baroque pearls, which really adds to the visual allure.

The pearls are hand-knotted between each and every one.

This amazing necklace/sautoir combines multiple exceedingly high end elements to create a spectacular, radiant, detailed, gleaming, ONE OF A KIND NECKLACE guaranteed to have enormous to thrill.
