Synthetic Blue Spinel in Silver Deco Necklace
An Art Deco necklace of exquisite sterling silver filigree set with an icy blue synthetic spinel. The focal point of the necklace is a triangular panel of silver filigree, suspending a pendant with filigree flowers and set with an oval spinel. The pendant hangs on a sterling silver peanut chain with a pretty filigree clasp. The perfect present for your favorite Jazz Baby. Circa 1920.
The process of making spinels synthetically was discovered accidentally in the 1920s by chemists attempting to create better synthetic sapphires.
Details.....The necklace is 17" long. The decorative panel measures 1.6" by 0.70" drop. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on antique and vintage jewelry, we consider it part of the charm.
