Art Nouveau Czech art glass and brass necklace Glorious peacock colors

This pendant dates in the early 20's and is made of solid brass and paste rhinestones. The center piece is art glass from the Czech republic and is bezel set. The heavy pendant is all original with all the original settings. I loved the peacock colors of blues and purples so I added the blue and purple czech glass beads that are nestled in vintage brass filigree bead caps. This forms a 20" chain with a signed made in czechoslovakia clasp that has a faceted blue chalcedony stone in it. IT is hard to see it the photos but this magnificent pendant draws from the alternating glass beads of purple and blue in the neck chain. I doubt these were mass produced so you will probably never see another like it. IT is a truly fabulous piece!

Wearing your Faith with a little sparkle

HUGE Gothic marcasite Cross necklace Elaborate nouveau style chain

The photos of this remarkable marcasite cross don't do it justice. The gunmetal cross is quite large ( 4 1/2" long including the hanger) and it is loaded with marcasites that catch the light. The heavy ornate 1/2" wide chain has nouveau style floral links. The beauty of this cross is heartwarming and spiritual and much prettier in person.

The Acorn Bracelet and its Story

This vintage art nouveau bracelet has two larger links with acorns and acorn leafs. It is believed to have been the tree from which Jesus Christ's cross was made. In smaller pioneer cemeteries, it is common to place children's graves near oak trees. The oak tree was the tree of life in pre-Christian times. The Druids worshipped the oak. The oak, oak leaves and acorn can stand for power, authority or victory. Often seen on military tombs. This was probably worn by someone's loved one who passed and was a remembrance of them.
