Stunning, historic attributed Neiger Brothers amethyst faceted glass vintage necklace featuring the signature floral enameling and accented with rhinestones. This unsigned beauty is set in gold/brass toned metal, is 16” in length and is excellent vintage condition with little to no enamel scratching.

This same piece in blue is listed elsewhere as a confirmed Neiger piece, but I am not an expert. It has indicators that it was made by Neiger Bros, including the component construction, enameling, and closure.

High-end vintage jewelry is an investment and I want to help you make the right choice for your collection. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or to request additional photos. I am not an expert, but I do my best to provide good photos and honest information.

HISTORY:

Max and Norbert Neiger were two brothers living in Czechoslovakia who made wonderful jewellery with figural glass components in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia, from 1905 to the 1930s. They were Czech citizens as were their ancestors but they also had German Nationality

As the Germans advanced near Gablonz in 1939, the two Jewish brothers left their factory and escaped to Bohemia, where they continued to produce jewellery in a scaled-down operation. They were later arrested in Prague and, in 1942, were exterminated by the Nazis at Auschwitz.
