Antique German Paste Crystal Open Back Bezel and 38 similar items

UP FOR SALE: Antique German paste crystal necklace featuring hand-set, open-back faceted crystals in individual bezel settings, linked with delicate metal connectors. The open-back construction allows light to pass through the stones, giving them exceptional sparkle and depth ? a hallmark of quality paste jewelry from the late 19th to early 20th century. Each crystal is securely set and displays bright clarity with classic paste fire. The necklace measures approximately 16 inches in length and closes with an early ring-and-hook style clasp, consistent with period construction. Condition is very good for age, with light surface wear to the metal and stones consistent with antique jewelry. No obvious missing stones noted. This is a refined, wearable example of antique paste jewelry that still holds its own visually today. Elegant on its own or layered, and especially appealing to collectors who appreciate early craftsmanship and open-back settings. AS IS AS SHOWN ?
