Antique Art Deco Brass Filigree Citrine Glass Necklace & Earrings Set
Nearly a century old — and it has never looked more alive.
This exceptional two-piece jewelry suite dates from the late 1920s to early 1930s, bearing all the hallmarks of the celebrated Bohemian/Czech workshops that defined the golden age of Art Deco adornment. The ornate brass filigree fringe necklace and perfectly coordinating drop earrings glow with warm citrine-amber rhinestones — every single one meticulously prong-set with original folded metal tabs. Not a drop of modern glue. Not a single missing stone.
The metalwork carries a rich, completely original aged brass patina — deep oxidation nestled in the filigree grooves that only a century of time can produce. The airy, hand-linked oval filigree panels move with a delicate grace that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.
Dating confirmed by hardware: a period-correct un-collared spring ring clasp with smooth, non-ridged thumb pull — a profile that explicitly marks production between 1925 and 1935. Unsigned, as was standard for the vast majority of exported European brass filigree of this era.
Condition: Excellent vintage. Brass finish fully original and free of corrosion. Clasp works smoothly. Earring clips are intact, spring-tight, and very wearable. One earring has a tiny chip near the backing (not visible when worn); a faint interior spot on one large oval stone visible only under magnification. See photos. Neither detracts from the breathtaking beauty of this set.
Stored beautifully for nearly a century. It's time for it to shine on you.
