Product description
Here is an Art Deco era piece made of vaseline glass, also known as uranium glass. This jewel stands out for its unique ability to emit an intense green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, a fascinating characteristic of this historical material.
The necklace is composed of a series of glass beads of different shapes and sizes, including faceted, round, and disc-shaped elements, in shades of light and dark green. The metal clasp, probably brass, bears the hallmark "GES.GESCH", an abbreviation for "Gesetzlich Geschützt", indicating a registered design in Germany or Austria at the beginning of the 20th century. This legal protection mark anchors the piece in its historical production context.
Preserved in excellent condition for its age, the necklace retains all its original components. The glass is clear and the colors are vibrant, while the clasp shows an authentic patina that testifies to its journey through time. The overall structure is solid and the necklace is completely wearable.
As a collector's item and fashion accessory, this necklace is a testament to the craftsmanship and design of the Art Deco era. It can be worn to add a touch of history to an outfit or displayed as a Decorative Objects, for example under the provided glass bell jar, to highlight its beauty and unique fluorescent property.
