Featured Long unsigned vintage filgree sterling necklace with blue stone beads

I have a similar piece... I'll try and post later. Mine came from an elderly auntie in Cornwall England who loved going to Jumble sales. She sent it for Christmas back in the 60's. Mine has lapis and rhinestones in it... I've never known the age. I'll try and post later today.

That looks early 20th or late 19th to me. And Bohemian.

 

I agree, earlier, early 20th or late 19th and LOVELY!!!!!!!!!

 

Well, I went digging. I guess it is somewhat similar... I've always loved the piece and I've worn it a number of times. The center bottom dangle is missing (always was; I don't know if elderly auntie ever even knew if it was missing). And over the years a few of the rhinestones have fallen out. I have replaced a few. I was always curious as to why they put rhinestones with lapis... at least I assumed that they were rhinestones! I'm still looking for a green one! Dang...they are hard to find! It is unmarked.

I think that one might be Neiger. Maybe slightly later, but still Bohemia.

 

Hi @Ownedbybear I just went and looked up Neijer... I think you may be right! Such a shame they were exterminated! Thanks for sharing your info!

I absolutely love Neiger stuff - yours is fab.

 

@Ownedbybear Oh thank you! I love the piece also. I've often wondered what the third bangle was - probably the same as the other two. I'll never be able to find the match; but I've looked for some time for something that might be appropriate... nothing so far...but you never know!
Cheerio, Leslie

 

You're very welcome.
