Beautiful classical and incredible attention to detail, for a piece of costume jewelry!

This jewelry was probably produced in the Czech Republic sometime from the 1900s to the 1930s. It has beautiful little coral colored beads with what I believe to be brass links, and gold plated fleur-de-lis findings between three portraits of young ladies.

The fleur-de-lis have little tiny coral colored beads at the stem with the fleur-de-lis being worn around the edges. The three portraits are of three different ladies in three different costumes. Around them is a white enamel halo. Even though other descriptions of similar necklaces to this, say that the faces and details of these ladies are hand-painted, I don't believe that they are. These are most definitely lithographed or transferred prints onto cabochon glass or porcelain beads.

The necklace is in fantastic condition and is very wearable. When worn, it comes down handsomely around the neck, like a collar necklace. The only flaw is that one of the beads must have broken, as it is missing from the necklace. It is not in an easily seen area, so nobody will ever know!

A beautiful, happy little piece that will inspire conversations and admiration to all who see it! Good luck!
