Antique Brass And Red Glass Beaded Necklace

A brass and glass necklace in radiant red!  The necklace measures approx. 34 inches long and has an ornate brass centerpiece.  The centerpiece holds a red faceted glass stone that is approx. 7/8th of an inch wide.  The top of the necklace was made with hand knotted red beads which changes to filigree beads, decorative links and beadcaps towards the center.  I was told that this is a late Victorian piece, but it is possible that it could be a little later than that.

This necklace is in great condition for its age!  There is age appropriate patina to the brass.  One link and a bead cap have a little vertigree (see photo) but nothing that detracts.  One of the round red beads has a little chip in it as well.  Other than that it is a marvelous and stunning necklace.
