[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 283141, member: 111"]I remember similar from the '80s, but believe this one is more likely circa 1920s-30s bezel-set Czech glass (love the oblong shape), the spring-ring appears to show less wear and is probably a replacement, though the original was probably also a spring-ring, most were very thin silverplate on brass, worn to just faint remnants of silver. Suspect finding a replacement would be difficult, you might try adding a complementary centerpiece, or adding a few brass jump-rings or short pieces of old brass chain between each stone (or at the back, as already suggested), or maybe shortening to a bracelet or anklet. Have seen choker length before, but might also have been taken from a long 'flapper' length necklace. I have one similar to the one linked below, only in blue and I think a bit longer - kind of like the price it brought, might have to dig mine out...
