Design & Features
- Intricate Filigree Chain: The body of the necklace is composed of finely detailed, rectangular gold-tone brass filigree stations. These die-struck metal panels capture the transition from organic Art Nouveau curves to structured Art Deco geometry.
- Faux Onyx Accents: Two oval-shaped, textured black molded glass beads flank the front of the neckline, providing a bold, high-contrast framing effect.
- Focal Cluster Pendant: At the center sits a large, graduated textured black fireball pendant. This intricately molded focal element mimics the look of carved genuine onyx or rare jet stone, popular choices during the Great Depression.
- Period-Accurate Closure: The necklace secures elegantly with a classic, low-profile spring ring clasp, seamlessly anchoring the structural drape of the collar without interrupting the continuous flow of the metalwork.
