(Tested Verified)
These are masterfully crafted ornate pieces from the Austro Hingarian Empire which was renowned for creating such exquisite handmade jewelry with materials of fine silver, glass and enamel amongst other things.
The fine wheat chains drape smoothly against the skin with a slinky feel. This set has a substantial weight.
For a more draped look the necklace should be worn closer around the neck and can be adjusted by a jeweler if desired.
This exquisite set is in wonderful vintage condition.
Beautiful pieces to treasure and love wearing.
There is mild patina with age and can be polished if desired.
Thank you and do look at my other jewelry from vintage to antiques.
