Green Glass Drops Necklace & Earring Set
This pretty set is very old dating back to at least the transitional period of 1910-1920 or
possibly much earlier, as glass drops such as these are found in Victorian jewelry dated around 1875 (book reference to "Popular
Jewelry 1840-1940" by Roseann Ettinger pg. 23). The set has 11 delicate emerald green glass drops hanging from
a brass 18" chain. Matching earrings are for pierced ears and have the same lovely green drops hanging from a tiny
gilded brass flower that has been hand welded to the wire earring finding. The drops measure 3/8" long and are attached
to wires that thread them to the necklace and earrings. This is a wonderfully simple design, rare to find as a set.
There is some evidence that the spring ring closure on the necklace is a replacement that works well.
