<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 518096, member: 2844&quot;]It is a lovely necklace, Jaime, a real collectable.</p><p>I&#039;m with the others, 1920s-30s Czech. The thread looks original to me, but restrung wouldn&#039;t be a problem I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller in the link doesn&#039;t provide any proof for the attribution to Max Neiger.</p><p>All beads used in that necklace are generic and used by many jewellery makers in Gablonz. The elephant beads are not carved, they were made in molds, just like the others in that necklace, and they were used by several manufacturers. There is an unattributed necklace with exactly the same elephant beads in the Sibylle Jargtorf book I mentioned in another thread.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>So I would take the ebay description with a pinch of salt.</p><p>Your coral beads were also made in a mold, the amber beads look handmade.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Gablonz (Jablonec), where these beauties were made, there were bead etc makers, and makers of metal ornaments. People like Max Neiger and others bought these ready-made components and assembled them into specific designs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
