Three large natural opalescent stones are the focal point. Probably circa 1910, the blue inset glass piece depicts a mythical Phoenix, symbol of eternal life. Underneath is a depiction of an Assyrian king on a lion hunt. This pendant has a tiny flower with a leaf holding an even tinier Seed Pearl. The headpiece is enameled in red and white stripes.
Spice is added with accents of etched, low karat silver spacers and beads.
This necklace, rare and unusual, is really magnificent. All set in Platinum, on a marked Platinum chain. The surround is of enameled flowers on Sterling. To make this necklace a little different, I've had it strung onto 2 kinds of natural stone beads in 2 shades of green.
