About the Item

Charming antique necklace dates from the late 19th to early 20th century and features a stunning design of coral celluloid cameos and coral glass cabochons set in an ornate gold-tone metal frame. The pieces are interconnected with delicate chains, creating a beautiful swag effect. The necklace concludes with a circular spring clasp and an "O" ring, adding to its vintage appeal. Materials: Coral-colored celluloid (an early form of plastic), glass cabochons, and gold-tone metal (likely brass as the base metal). Measurements: The necklace measures 16 1/2 inches in length with a maximum chain width of 3/8 inches. The central pendant adds an additional 3 3/8 inches in total drop length. Condition: For its age, the necklace is in good antique condition. While the clasp appears to be a replacement, it functions properly. There is some metal discoloration and darkening typical of pieces from this period, but no significant cracks or chips are visible on the cameos or glass cabochons. Clasp being a likely replacement, yet still in good working condition. This necklace is a beautiful example of Victorian-era design, with its delicate cameos and glass cabochons offering a timeless elegance. The use of celluloid as a material for the cameos provides an interesting historical context, making this piece a rare and collectible find for vintage jewelry enthusiasts.
