ART DECO 'CHAIN MAIL' CHROME & BLUE NECKLACE

I love these Art Deco chrome chain mail necklaces.  However it is very hard to find them in good condition - the paint is often too worn and I have the dilemma - do I leave it as it is, or do I repaint!  This one is in completely original condition with the blue enamel paint just a little worn.  I cannot attribute it to a particular manufacturer - but it is a good example of a 'chain mail' necklace. See my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com for description.  Price £200.  I always have a selection of Art Deco jewellery in my shop at Grays Antiques in central London.  #ArtDecoChainMailNecklace  #ArtDecoNecklace #ArtDecoChromeNecklace

IRIS GLASS STONES VINTAGE NECKLACE

This is an early 20c iris glass stones necklace.  You can see a full description of iris glass on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - it was also called rainbow glass or rhinestones.  I love these glass stones - which were made to imitate iris quartz from the river Rhine.  Price £95 reference 2576 B129/16.  I usually have a few examples of iris glass in my shop at Grays Antiques in central London.
