A STUNNING ORIGINAL ART DECO NECKLACE GUARANTEED TO BE FROM THE ESTATE OF LEGENDARY OPERA SINGER, JESSYE NORMAN.   DRAMATIC AND DIVINE, THIS STUNNING PENDANT NECKLACE IS CRYSTAL, BLACK JET AND RHINESTONE.  THE NECKLACE DATES TO THE ART DECO PERIOD, CIRCA 1920-1930.  THE STUNNING BLACK AND WHITE DESIGN REFLECTS MS NORMANS SIGNATURE STYLE - HOW WONDERFUL!

The necklace retains a touch of Ms. Norman's perfume. 

From the Estate of the opera legend Jessye Norman.  Ms. Norman has relinquished some of her jewels as she is no longer performing on the world stages.  Many of these jewels have been worn at concerts and special appearances around the world.  We feel so fortunate to have a wonderful selection of the dramatic and inspired jewels from Ms. Norman's extraordinary personal collection.  These include pieces by Isabel Canovas, Van der Straeten, Kenneth Jay Lane, Vogue, Nina Ricci, Iradj Moini, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Ciner, Schiaparelli, Sonia Rykiel, and extraordinary opals she collected herself in Australia and many many more!  Her jewels reflect her dramatic and consumate vision of the world!  

Jessye Norman also had a great love affair with France, and the French with her.  She is an officer of France's Ordre National de la Legion D'honneur, a Commander in the L'ordre Des Arts des Lettres, and France has named an orchid for her!  Thus these pieces from Paris are particularly wonderful!

Here we have the spectacular Art Deco necklace in wonderful clear crystal and black jet!

The necklace is in excellent condition.  The necklace is 23 inches long.  The drop portion is 4 inches long and 7/8 inch wide.  The drop at the bottom has a tiny chip at the top where the string enters on one side.  The string in the pendant could be tightened if desired.  We have left the necklace as Ms. Norman had it.

This is a very special necklace - truly Museum Quality design and artistry.  And created for the legendary Jessye Norman.  I just cannot say enough about the beauty of these pieces!
