Featured Glass seed bead necklace with bird in pattern, 1920's?

I absolutely adore this piece, but pretty sure I will be selling. Basically what I am looking for is anything comparable out there. If anyone can link a similar item that would be ideal. Trying to find a price comparison. Proceeds go in the ladies who lunch fund! So are we eating at McDonalds or Tavern on the Green?

The case may or may not be original, I was initially thinking not, but then I found a 1920s necklace with seed pearls when I was researching, and it had this exact case. The only history is that friend got it as a hand me down from a family that used to live on the estate (of a U.S. household name) 50 years ago. Just means it could have been a better piece, no guarantees of course.










Case reads "Deltah Pearls". I realize mine are not pearls. They are glass. But friend was given the case with the piece. The other necklace I stumbled upon while researching "seed bead necklace" from highest to lowest on "Ebay Sold" just by dumb luck had the same maker's case. (Zero illusions mine has value remotely similar as I think the seed pearls are what made the linked one below so high). May have no connection but here is the link and photo from the Ebay sold auction:

Anyway the only thing that hit me was that they were both seed necklaces, and spotted the same maker's case.

If anyone has seen anything like this, tell me what you know. What I would LOVE is a link to anything comparable. With or without the bird.

Awesome Bronwen! Thank you!

 

Interesting tactic. This one is the same as this one, with the very same description & a very different price. Sellers are both Charles (Someone).

 

Maybe check links unless my computer is doing something wonky. I'm getting different auctions with the "this one" links for different sautoirs and different sellers. Let me know.

By the way Brownen, thanks for the term "sautoir" -- searching it with "bird" it's allowing me to find more of these. So far haven't found one sold, but I definitely have a price range of asking, and I think we might be looking at a sold price of $150 on up, as this one is in immaculate condition with nothing missing or broken.

 

I LOVE finding those new key search words! I discovered "coquille" the other day!

 

WOW!!! GREAT work @Bronwen!!! I was just on a wild goose chase and didn't come up with anything THAT close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
