<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 951459, member: 5398&quot;]Thank you Kyratango, I had never heard that term (just dragon&#039;s breath for something similar to saphiret glass).&nbsp; I googled art nouveau dragon&#039;s egg necklaces and found lots of examples, although some were attributed to the art deco era.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took my necklace apart yesterday and could see from the inside of the bead caps and the unexposed wires that they originally had a gold wash, so that explains why the ends of the wires are silver colored and the bead caps are brass. I also noticed that the brass filigree beads have a few traces of gilding too, and that they&#039;re actually bead caps that were shaped into round beads, so that&#039;s why some were off-center on the wires (I&#039;ll need to reshape them).&nbsp; Now I really wish I could have seen the original necklace.&nbsp; Whatever I come up with won&#039;t compare.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post a picture hopefully sometime fairly soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
