This fabulous Art Deco Vauxhall or mirror glass necklace is unusual and rare. It features glass cabochon disks, which do look like blue mirrors, with the largest being 1 1/16" diameter. In the color of cornflower blue, there are three sizes of disks connected in graduating fashion. Six Vauxhall glass bar links, in a shade lighter, connect on each side of the disks, leading to the clasp.
If you are a Vauxhall glass jewelry collector, this piece is a must-have.
To help explain Vauxhall glass:
"Through the eighteenth century and on into the middle of the nineteenth, Vauxhall glass was a popular gem substitute. Intense hues of highly reflective purple, orange, red, green and blue were set into butterfly, snowflake and flower motifs on necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches and hair combs." -- langantiques.com
"...these are colored glass stones produced in various molded shapes and having a silvered backing, just as conventional mirror glass has. Think of them as very tiny colorful mirrors that have a dimensional, usually faceted, top surface. The silvered backside, however, is always flat; it is never pointed like many foil-backed rhinestones are. The combination of exceptionally fine quality glass, rich color, and high quality silver backing is what gives Vauxhall glass its uniquely luminous reflective quality and that special glow from within." -- chatsworthlady.com
Condition: Very good, because of this unique cabochon example of Vauxhall glass, spots/imperfections on the inside of the settings are more noticeable than those links with faceted glass. This necklace has two disk links with minor spotting around the backside edges (as some old mirrors do). But these reflect light so brightly, no one in bright light will notice. Although the color of the jump ring (and connecting ring) that the spring ring attaches to is different than the spring ring, I am not sure if they are replacements. Metal finish on the backs--splotchy but normal signs of age/wear. Glass is extremely shiny.
Approximate measurements: SMALL NECK--14" long--I could include an extender for the back if you would like--just ask.
