Fabulous EDWARDIAN Green Glass & Chrome Filigree Y-Shaped Necklace and Earrings Set

Jewelry : Antique : Edwardian

 

This is the first time in my career I've been fortunate to come upon one of these so hard-to-find Edwardian-transitional chromium filigree necklaces ~ and a mighty fine one too ~ that still has its matching screwback earrings! This demi is a particular work of art in that its delicate paperclip chain gives way to a pair of elongated filigree drops ornamented with green glass stones, which support a large oval of unfoiled green glass held in with little frog-feet prongs with yet another 1-1/2" filigree & green glass drop dangling from its bottom center for that overall Y shape that's so seductively becoming on just about everyone. The earrings have a wavy-squarish shape with square stones and so may not be the original mates to the necklace, but it's a terrific marriage that's lasted almost a century ~ when was the last time you heard the likes of that? All pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no evidence of wear, corrosion, or scratches or nicks to the stones. No markings.
