Vintage Filigree Droplet Necklace

This is a vintage-style decorative necklace featuring intricate gold-toned metalwork. The piece consists of five graduated openwork filigree stations, each designed with elegant scrollwork patterns reminiscent of the Belle Époque or Victorian revival periods. From each filigree station hangs a single, square-set faceted amethyst-colored rhinestone or glass stone, creating a rhythmic 'droplet' effect across the wearer's neckline. Each filigree section itself is accented with small, round-cut lavender stones at its center and edges, providing a subtle color variation from the darker purple of the square drops. The metal appears to be a plated base metal with an antiqued brass or gold finish, showing some slight darkening and patina consistent with age. The chain is a standard cable link style. In terms of condition, the stones appear to be intact and securely prong-set, though some minor surface wear and dullness on the faceted glass are visible upon close inspection. There are no immediate signs of repairs, such as inconsistent soldering, suggesting it is in its original state. This jewelry piece likely dates to the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s) or is a high-quality modern revival, exhibiting fine attention to detail in the ornate casting of the metal components.
