    I'm trying to ID the maker of this gilt brass mesh and glass bead necklace. The large opaque blue drops with gilt accents remind me of Neiger Brothers. I've shown the front and back.
    I did Google & Bing text & image searches with no relevant matches. Thanks, all! Art_Deco_Brass_Mesh_Cobalt_Glass_Pendants_neck_1.JPG Art_Deco_Brass_Mesh_Cobalt_Glass_Pendants_neck_2.JPG

    I can see why the dangles remind you of Neiger. My gut feel is not. That mesh collar doesn’t look right for construction. I’m inclined to it being sixties ish.

    Hmm, the green beads are very similar to those I've seen in earlier 20th C jewelry and the mesh looks much more like 1920-30's to me. (Note that the full view is showing backside, the front view is the upper image.)
    I appreciate your input. I'm eager to see what others will say.

    I think someone got hold of some old unstrung beads and had at.

    I did wonder that. The mesh necklace may have started life plain.

    Funny, that, @evelyb30 , I loved the big blue beads but wished the arrangement had 3 of them, not 2. I am wondering if I should use them for earrings?

    The rings holding the beads stand out because they look darker than the mesh necklace, so I would think added later.

    I think that could be because the mesh was a different type/amount of gilding, probably not made by the same mfgr. as the jump rings and wires. Without the small beads the larger two drops would look a bit "lonely" I think. Thanks for your input!

    Another vote for the dangles added later to a plain mesh necklace. It works though, nice and cheerful.:)
    The beads Neiger used were made by another company. Sometimes specifically for Neiger, but many beads were also used by others.

    Good to know, @Any Jewelry . I thought Neiger was the manufacturer. Thanks.

    Neiger was a manufacturer of complete jewellery, but glass components like beads and cabs were made by others.
