Art Deco Style Cubic Zirconia Necklace

This is a silver-toned necklace featuring a series of articulated circular bezels, each set with clear, round-cut stones. The necklace design incorporates five main circular elements, gradually decreasing in size towards the ends of the necklace, creating a graduated effect. The central and largest circular element in the focal pendant contains a sizable, brilliant-cut clear stone, likely cubic zirconia given its sparkle and 'NRT' marking often associated with fashion jewelry. Surrounding this central stone, and the smaller central stones in the adjacent bezels, are concentric rings paved with smaller clear stones, adding to the brilliance and intricate detailing. The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of Art Deco design, characterized by geometric patterns and a focus on sparkle. The metal appears to be a polished silver-tone, possibly rhodium-plated base metal, and shows no obvious signs of tarnish or significant wear in the visible areas. The chain is a delicate curb or rolo style link, consistent with contemporary fashion jewelry. The craftsmanship, while not fine jewelry grade, appears to be well-executed for costume jewelry, with all stones securely set. There are no visible condition issues such as missing stones, bent links, or significant scratches. The 'NRT' mark suggests a manufacturer or brand, often found on rhodium-plated sterling silver or base metal pieces, indicating a more modern (post-1980s) production style.
