[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 466071, member: 5833"]I can think of a couple of reasons shorter length might have made it more appealing to final buyer. If she has a clientele with many Asian women who find Western necklaces are often too long and/or chunky for them, your pointing out the delicacy of this one may have made her reconsider. Very dainty necklaces meant to be worn at the base of the throat with a low cut dress are a Regency - early Victorian look. Buyer may have taken short length as evidence of age. Like Holly, I'm not persuaded. The color is not as rich as the very pink cord is making it look. The 'fibers' might also be small fissures. I don't know if the beads & the cabochons are all the same type of stone or not, but the cabs photographed as a very odd shade of purple-pink. Good show! Not likely to have been made after the reunification of Germany, so pre-WWII. I imagine there would have been quite a bit of exchange of jewellery components in the whole Bohemia-Bavaria region, bringing Czech glass & German metal work together. Absurd price, even if perfect.
