Description
This deco-style enamel, brass, and glass intaglio necklace was made by a company called "Pididdly Links" that reproduced Victorian and deco-style jewelry. I'm guessing it is from the 1970's, since this deco style would have been popular again at that time. The chain is made of brass flat links, with two small black glass beads. The pendant has a brass metal base, covered with enamel in black and palest blue, with a beautiful oval, black glass intaglio of a very detailed heron set in the center. (Intaglio is the process of carving a design into a background material like stone of glass--as opposed to a cameo, which has the background material carved away to create the design.) The necklace is a choker, and will fit up to a 14-inch neck. It closes in back with a tiny, tube-shaped clasp. The necklace is in very good to excellent condition, with minor signs of normal wear.
