    Description

    Vintage Rare Art Deco/Art Nouveau Sterling Necklace~Rarely seen in Pink, this Peking Pierced Glass Rectangular Art Piece is mounted in a Sterling Silver frame with fan-shaped Art Deco corners. Most Peking glass that you find is a green color; pink is unusual. Baroque Pearls~Burgundy Agates-Rose Pink Quartz Beads add to the color dazzle. Matching earrings. The pendant used in this piece was once part of an antique necklace; it was the end piece where the clasp slipped into, probably from the 20s when Peking Glass was the rage in France & Czechoslovakia. I had a jeweler add silver rings at the top corners so that it could become a pendant. It is so, so pretty. Hard to see in the photos, but there is a bird and floral design on the glass; on the reverse of the pendant is the stamp STERLING.
    The size of the pendant is 1 1/4" wide and 1" high. The necklace is 18" long with a 925 lobster clasp. The other beads used in this piece are: freshwater baroque pearls with pink/green iridescence with a high luster, pink quartz, and stunning burgundy quartz. These same types of stones are used in the earrings which dangle 2 to 2 1/2" from the hooks or earlobe. This is assembled by hand & has Susan McKenna's hangtag. It is an original one-of-a-kind piece. Pink Quartz Rock/Boulder prop is not included.
    History of Peking Glass:
    Peking glass consists of objects made by Chinese glassworkers, and the earliest Peking glass came from the Imperial glassworks, which began in the late 17th century and operated through the 19th century. The most common Peking glass objects contain multiple, dipped layers of different coloured glass overlaying one another. The outer layers are carved with intricate designs revealing the colours below, and the result is a multicoloured glass object. Vintage snuff bottles typically have three to five glass layers with an opaque white base. Although designs vary greatly and contain many themes, common carved designs included floral and bird patterns.
