Estate vintage Oriental piece, non gold, non silver holder, non magnetic.
Could this piece have been made by MAX NEIGER the creative genius behind the prolific and innovative lines of costume jewelry produced.... by the Neiger Brothers from 1903 until 1938.
Very cool necklace,
Very pretty. The stone, if natural, looks to be Larimar. Love the chain too!
Yes everyone & their sister describes their items as NEIGER Czech pieces with few being authenticated.
I c/b wrong but I believe this to be Peking Glass.
There is a beautiful one on Rubylane at Phoenix Jewelry
“Art Nouveau Czech Neiger Gargoyle Dragon Jade Peking Glass Brass NecklaceChoker”. But it’s not a dragon or griffin. Anyone who has an interest in the finer end of vintage costume jewellery will learn to know this family name — that of Neiger, or more properly the Neiger brothers, who were murdered with an entire generation of their Jewish brethren at Auschwitz in Poland.
NOTE: Identification can be difficult, as many Neiger pieces ARE NOT MARKED.
THUS THIS OPENS THE DOOR TOO MANY KNOCK-offs!
The Chinese character on the top means “Happiness/good fortune”, such a beautiful piece to have!
Thanks so very much.
You just added so much knowing there is “reason” as well as “beauty”.
