Fab Vintage CLOVER Link Chain w/2 Genuine Turkish outlet BURGUNDY JADE Pendants Set in 24K Plate w/Oriental Fretwork: Carved Vtg. Celluloid Drop
Mega outlet Fabulous!
The chain on this piece is the most beguiling one I get to work with, so I don't use it frequently (I love it too much)!
It is vintage gold plate (or brass - not entirely sure which) chain, but the links are in a series of CLOVER SHAPES and it is just enchanting and quite beautiful.
The chain (without all the pendants) is long: it measures 34" in length, which means a 17" drop.
If you add the three PENDANTS, you gain an additional 5" in wearable drop length.
The chain supports a fantastic LARGE, faceted TURKISH GENUINE BURGUNDY JADE ROUND which is set in a stunning rustic 24K gold plate. This FOCI PENDANT measures 1 3/4" in diameter and makes a big impression due to both its beguiling color and large size.
The color of the JADE is amazing: it is indeed a deep burgundy, but one might a deep plum or a purple. Call it what you will, it is totally stunning and has a very pleasing and well done mottling.
Beneath this beauty hangs another PENDANT of the same color, this lass measuring a tad over 1" in diameter. It is covered with a 24K gold plate serrated edging and etched ORIENTAL FRETWORK (the process they use to put the lovely defined leaves on over the gemstone itself).
From this hangs a drop/charm/dangle made with a very light purple, faceted SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL, a VINTAGE CARVED CELLULOID LILAC round and a SWAROVSKI deep burgundy bicone crystal at the bottom.
ONE OF A KIND, this is a piece with tremendous visual allure and fantastic coloration. It is immensely shiny and wonderfully versatile, and would work with a gown, a business suit or jeans and a tee.
A superb mix of the old and the new!
