A wonderful example of fine vintage West German craftsmanship. This necklace presents a beautiful rose garden transfer on a pronged glass cabochon.  There is an aurora borealis chaton on the end of the centerpiece and is in a dogtooth prong setting. The border of the pendant is adorned with beautiful filigree scrollwork. this pendant is set off once again by the Brass filigree workmanship of the chain. A lightweight link chain attaches ornate 1" long filigree beads to a glass pearl on each side ending with a filigree heart to hold the pendant. Very soft, feminine and elegant!
