Circa 1920, a striking Art Deco bib necklace made in luxurious bright buttery 18ct rolled gold. Egyptian Revival in design the necklace is made up of bookchain links engraved in scroll detailing. The centre is embellished in four elongated kite-shaped gold drops and three Czech bead drops, two in green Peking glass and a central faux pearl set in clear crystals. The necklace is finished in a chain with a traditional spring ring fastener.
Rolled gold (gold filled) jewellery is made by mechanically bonding a layer of solid gold over a base metal. Significantly thicker than gold plating (the gold layer is at least 1/20 of the overall metal content by weight), it is quality finish saturated in colour that will retain its golden lustre.
A beautifully detailed true period Art Deco necklace, lightweight and elegant with fab movement she is iconic of the jazz baby era!
