This an incredible piece, Peter! Where is it from, please? The Balkan region? Greece?
I love the green enamelling. Very beautiful and unusual.
Dear Betty; You are very fast - I did not finish writing the text to the photo... It is from Bulgaria and as mentioned above, very old. The green enamel is in a magnificent condition - nothing is missing as far as I could see. It is mercury gold plated (the gold plating can especially be seen on the top part but also at the back of the entire necklace. I have already some similar necklaces but none of them is in such a magnificent condition. This is definitely museum worthy! With kind regards. Peter
Apologies for being to rash and many thanks for the information.
It definitely is a museum piece. Thanks for sharing the picture with us!
What a spectacular necklace. This is a real treasure Peter. I have been away for a little while and I am amazed at everything you have shared while I was gone!
