During this interwar period, Czechoslovakia (specifically the Jablonec/Gablonz region) was the absolute epicenter of high-quality glass and costume jewelry production, famous for mimicking fine gemstones. The Style: This is a classic brass filigree work with a heavily aged patina (often referred to as an antique gold or brass finish). The Stones: The large stones are unfoiled, faceted purple  amethyst art glass . The "open-back" setting (meaning the back of the stone is completely exposed to the light rather than closed off with metal or foil) was specifically designed to let light pass through the glass, mimicking the deep, brilliant refraction of genuine fine gemstones.   Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent.
