Vintage 1930s Art Deco PURPLE Czech Vauxhall Step Glass Necklace

Description: To make this a smooth and pleasant transaction experience for everyone, all buyers need to read and understand the Description, Terms of Sale, Payment, and Shipping, below. This pretty Vauxhall glass necklace comprises the ever-popular step glass links, sometimes called "skyscraper" glass links, with the longest bar in the center. The geometric links represent the height of the Art Deco period. To help explain Vauxhall glass: "Through the eighteenth century and on into the middle of the nineteenth, Vauxhall glass was a popular gem substitute. Intense hues of highly reflective purple, orange, red, green and blue were set into butterfly, snowflake and flower motifs on necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches and hair combs." -- langantiques.com "...these are colored glass stones produced in various molded shapes and having a silvered backing, just as conventional mirror glass has. Think of them as very tiny colorful mirrors that have a dimensional, usually faceted, top surface. The silvered backside, however, is always flat; it is never pointed like many foil-backed rhinestones are. The combination of exceptionally fine quality glass, rich color, and high quality silver backing is what gives Vauxhall glass its uniquely luminous reflective quality and that special glow from within." -- chatsworthlady.com The purple glass links are in two sizes, with the larger one in the center. The chain and settings are silver-finished metal. The chain is unique and the backs of the glass settings are textured. Condition: Excellent with a couple of normal marks on one setting behind the glass Approximate measurements: 15 1/2" long Shipping includes insurance. ****************************************Payment:Payment expected within two days of purchase.Shipping:Please be sure your shipping address on file with eBay is correct.
