Condition Report:
Very Good - There is a tiny chip to the edge of one circular and one triangular panel. This is only visible upon very close inspection and does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.
The Details...
This necklace features faceted round and triangular French Jet (black glass) cabochons. They are attached onto a metal framework for form a fringe design necklace. The necklace fastens with a bolt ring and measures 41.5cm in length.
A Short History...
Glass has been a prevalent feature in costume pieces since the invention of jewellery, as it is an easily accessible material that can be formed into any shape and dyed any colour. Black glass was known as French Jet and was initially created in the late 1800s to replicate Whitby Jet. Black jewellery was popularised in the 1800s by Queen Victoria, who, after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, insisted on only wearing black. People wanted to emulate the style of their Queen.
Wear it With...
French jet looks fabulous on top of white t-shirts. The multi-faceted and intricate design of this piece would work particularly well with crisp white tones.
