I bought this necklace from a local antique store. The woman said it was late 1800s to early 1900s 9 karat rose gold.. She said it may be a russian piece as the US hadnt made rose gold in that era. There are no markings on the piece. It is jade with pearl accents. If anyone knows anything about this piece id love to hear it. I am interested to know more.
It's very pretty, I would like to see a close up of the clasp if possible.
DrFluffy is right, identification may be helped by adding close up of the clasp!
Perhaps Murrle Bennett...
You may have a look to PeaseJean post:

The beaded wire work is very similar!
The Jade within the wire cages are very similar to my Murrle Bennett bracelet.
Hey guys thanks for the awesome feedback. I have attached a picture of the clasp. You are right.. the murrle bennett piece looks identical.. does anyone know what kind of metal would have been used on this piece?
JesstheNewbie, if PeaseJean's is 9kt, and you were told yours is 9kt, not sure what you are asking?
Lol i guess im still unsure that its the same maker. Im hoping that by providing the picture of the clasp i can confirm that.
Hi Jess, the clasp is the same has mine, but that was the type of clasp they used. Usually Murrle Bennett did mark her work, but I would imagine there are some pieces she didn't. It's a difficult one because it is a very similar piece to mine, but I'm not a expert.
