AGE OR ERA: True antique / vintage jewelry piece - 1920's. This is most likely a pre-1922 piece as with the discovery of King Tut's tomb in November of 1922, their creations very much reflected their shift in interest towards the wildly popular Egyptian (and other complimentary exotic ethnic) themed motifs MARKINGS: None that I could find - which is typical for their jewelry METAL/MATERIAL: Mixed glass bead types, ceramic looking green bead, and white milk glass seed beads mixed in the strand and also a longer run by the clasp CLASP / CLOSURE: Silver toned spring ring clasp MEASUREMENTS: Aprox 15" long. The green beads are about 1/2" in diameter. It is very short in length - but well suited to add on to in length with beads of your choice or repurposing these rare antique beads WEIGHT: x TESTING: UV light reactive - see pic(s) U.S. RING SIZE: x HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Neiger Brothers jewelry is well known and beloved for incorporating beautiful Czech art glass beads, large (mostly) figural focal beads and pendant drops, and detailed metal caps & findings. Max and Norbert Neiger were Czechoslovakian brothers who made pieces with mainly glass components in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia - circa 1905 to the 1930s. They were Czech citizens, as were their ancestors, but they also had German Nationality. Style wise - the Neiger brothers took full advantage of the Egyptian Revival craze, beginning with the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922. As well they should have, like so many of the art deco jewelry designers did at that time. They continued to add more “exotic” ethnic lines, including with Chinese and Indian motifs. They produced hypnotizing brooches, beautiful beaded necklaces and fascinating bracelets, all eye-catching and of the highest quality. Today smart collectors are giving Max and Norbert's creations a well-deserved renaissance. Their hard to find, hand made, original wares are scarce (especially in nice condition) due to the small number of pieces made and limited production time as they experienced a tragic end...... As the Germans advanced near Gablonz in 1939, the two Jewish brothers left their factory and escaped to Bohemia. They continued to create jewelry in a scaled-down operation for just a few years. They were unfortunately arrested in Prague in 1942 and passed at Auschwitz. *** The photo included is of Max himself taken from his 1924 driver's license JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This stunning necklace is a rare find for any vintage jewelry lover.
