Thank you Peter. Your latest postings have inspired me show this one too. Kind regards, Betty
Absolutely lovely. Do you wear it like a choker or like a pectoral? I have noticed that there are a few different shapes to these labbeh, some that hang straight down and some that fan out. Yours looks like the latter.
Thank you Lynn! I actually wear it as a choker and yes, it fans out a little, but not much. Since its only three-tiered it is very comfortable to wear while still being a stunner...
This looks great. I can imagine wearing it against a black background to accentuate the silver. So well made and complete. Have you any idea how old it is?
Thank you Thelma.
It came from a lot with some other really lovely pieces, but I do not think any of them were very early. My guess would be 1920s - 1950s. But it's really just a guess...the boxes are nicely worn at the back.
