Description: Rare find! An exquisite, authentic Art Deco lavalier necklace from the 1920s-1930s. This fine vintage piece is beautifully crafted in solid sterling silver and features a striking, geometric Y-drop centerpiece in front and a dramatic “backdrop” piece suspended from the back of the clasp. The necklace is designed with individually linked, prong-set crystals leading to a dramatic cascading drop highlighted by two large, crisp, square-cut faceted crystals. True to high-end craftsmanship of the era, the stones feature un-foiled, open-back settings that allow light through, creating stunning brilliance. The necklace secures with a period-correct slide box clasp, which is stamped “Sterling” on the reverse side. A perfect, wearable investment piece for collectors of fine Art Deco and estate jewelry. Condition: Excellent antique condition. The sterling silver framework is structurally sound, and the slide box clasp functions securely. The crystals are bright and clear with no major chips, remaining tightly secured in their original prong settings. Crystals are all intact and clear (no clouding or yellowing). Gentle age-appropriate patina present on the silver metal, which has been left undisturbed to preserve its antique integrity. Measurements: Necklace measures 10 ½” front drop length from the clasp, and 3 ½” back drop length from the clasp. The cascading front drop from the “Y” measures nearly 3”.
