    Just wondering any ideas on age please? The gold tone/bronze tone metal is quite lightweight. IMG_20210328_114752 (2).jpg IMG_20210328_114818 (2).jpg

    The clasp looks 1920s/1930s as does the paperclip chain. The amber glass beads were very popular in the 1930s. The Czechs did quite a line of stuff like this, so my guess is mid-1930s Czechoslovakian. Others will be along later to either agree or tell me why I'm dead wrong. ;-)

    Had the exact thought. Czech, 1930s plus or minus.

    Take a close look at the round piece on the clasp, sometimes will have "Czechoslovakia" in tiny, tiny letters.

    I like those chains (well the whole necklace as Iā€™m a sucker for glass beads) but the chain makes it a bit different.

    I'm in total agreement on 30s Czech/Bohemian. Absolutely typical.

    Sorry to hijack, but what makes that clasp 20/30s? That looks like a typical spring ring to my untrained eye. :hilarious:

    The shape of the piece you pull back with your thumbnail, and the metal it's made from. Both scream 30s. Once you've seen a bunch, you recognize them.

    Not quite, but close. The loop on this one is closed. That's later.

    So the open loop is earlier?

    Yep, as far as I know. Bare brass usually is too.
