My friend's Aunt dined in the finest restaurants, knew the most influential people and did not know the meaning of the word ordinary. She had awesome taste and always bought the VERY BEST! This LOVELY Austrian costume jewelry Necklace is very well made with bright and unusual beads; far better than most that you will find. After World War II, Necklaces like this were hand strung in such an array of designs and with such an extensive choice of beads that it is quite RARE to find any two that are exactly alike. The artisans of Austria, as impoverished as they were at the time, were also highly talented. Their costume jewelry beads were considered some of the best in the world, and even Miriam Haskell used them on her jewelry. The fabulous iridescent colors and the shape combinations used in this Statement Necklace are highly sought after. This PRETTY Necklace features beads of textured iridescent white, smooth angled milky clear and round iridescent white with cone shaped spacers, combined to create a beautiful Austrian Necklace that stands on its own! All the beads are hand strung and very dimensional. Costume jewelry made in Mid-Century Austria is becoming scarce and hard to find. Featuring a mix of unusual shaped beads, this BEAUTIFUL Necklace is IDEAL for any Casual, Work, Special, Dressy or Formal occasion.
