This is a heavy and dramatic antique necklace that holds solid brass flower drops. The brass center piece is made in layers and when you see it in person you can see why the photos don't do it justice. You probably won't find another like it... I have seen many and this one is a real jewel. The necklace measures 16" long when closed with an additional 5 1/4" drop. The chain on this is really ornate as is the connectors ( see close ups ) The patina on this is rich and beautiful and has not been polished or cleaned. The front of this necklace has the same color consistency less the fold over clasp. The back has gold plate loss.It is a really well made and heavy necklace that has been well taken care of during its very long life. I really hope it gets a great home.. It is a real treasure. ga0000106bthsite
