Vintage Emerald Peridot Green Foil Back Rhinestone Necklace Czech Style.
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. All visible rhinestones appear present. The stones show minor surface wear and age-related variations in color and brilliance. Some foil backing has darkened or deteriorated with age, which is common in vintage rhinestone jewelry. The metal settings and hook clasp show tarnish, oxidation and finish wear. The clasp remains functional. No maker’s signature was located. Please inspect all photographs carefully.
Description:
Elegant vintage statement necklace featuring richly colored emerald-green and pale peridot-green foil-backed glass rhinestones.
The necklace has a continuous row of square pale-green rhinestones leading to an elaborate graduating centerpiece. Faceted emerald-green oval stones alternate with dangling square accents, creating a dramatic articulated fringe across the front.
Each stone is individually held in a pronged metal setting. The foil backing reflects light through the glass, intensifying the stones’ color and brilliance. Foil-backed construction was widely used in high-quality European and American costume jewelry during the early-to-mid-20th century.
Features include:
- Emerald and pale-green glass rhinestones
- Reflective foil-backed construction
- Faceted oval and square stones
- Individually prong-set rhinestones
- Graduated central design
- Articulated links
- Dangling square accents
- Traditional brass-tone hook clasp
The hook closure, construction and vivid glass stones resemble Czech or Bohemian costume jewelry, but no signature or country mark was located. The manufacturer and country of origin therefore remain unconfirmed.
A beautiful piece for collectors of vintage Czech-style glass, Art Deco-inspired jewelry, Hollywood Regency accessories or colorful statement necklaces.
