I so rarely find any deco around here..wanna list it right. But I think the more I research the more I confuse myself.

1)Is it called Paperclip or peanut chain?

2)Would it be called a drop, lariat, or negligee necklace? And would the 'choker' term apply here or no? The total length is 13 1/2" with a 3" drop

3)And what type of cut are the clear glass beads? All I can think of is multi-faceted rondelles. (maybe polished?) They have nice flat tables...love the stacked design

Anyhoo..I appreciate any help!

Beautiful necklace!

I think this is your chain.

CRINKLE CHAIN

Crinkle chain or peanut chain is an example of a fancy chain with an attractive wavy link design.

I think that drop, lariat and negligee would all work for this necklace. Don't know if I would call it a choker though.

Don't forget to us the term graduated when describing your crystals. Have you checked these to see if they are glass or rock crystal? The reason I ask is that I have had these in vintage pieces that are rock crystal rather than glass. I think they are simply called faceted rondelles.

I really like this necklace.

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.

Very nice piece - I have no info for you - but a question in order to help along my education so to speak.

How is it that you identified this as a deco period piece? Always like to know, so I can also id these types of things when I am out.

Very nice, I think I would call it a dangle lariet with crinkel chain and faceted beads .

Good question sophie`s choice. Since I am hopeless at 'retaining' most information on vintage jewelry..I was merely hoping the design/style, type of chain & glass elements were enough to consider it from that period when I saw it.

Then I started looking at other deco necklaces online when I got home (from reputable sites & sellers) & still keeping fingers crossed lol

The only thing I cannot confirm if the clasp is original? ..but in looking at others online close-up..I also see the color decrepancy between this silver tone delicate chain & 'brassiness' on the clasps.

Thanks for all the helpful info, Sandy. As for them being crystal..I have no way to test them..they so very nice & clear & really capture the light. My pics for sure don`t do it justice

Very pretty ! Have you tested the stones or beads ?

calis_stuff · ‎10-24-2014

Oops, sorry Sarah, just read where you haven't tested the stones. I can do that for you if you're interested.

Oh thanks so much, Cali! That would be a tremendous help!

Hi Sarah, received the necklace today and the chain tests as sterling, the clasp is not, the green beads are glass and the clear ones are quartz.

I knew as soon as I touched it it was quartz or rock crystal, they are very cold and heavy for their size.

Compare the coldness against your lip or cheek to a piece you know is glass, you should feel a difference.

I will send it back in the morning.

Thank you for the lovely pin, that wasn't necessary but greatly appreciated, when I finish waxing the table it will get tucked in with the rest of my treasured pieces.

Thanks again and I'll be happy to test anything else you may have.
