Description
A striking Art Deco revival necklace featuring a geometric tiered design.

Suspended on a delicate fine-link chain, this piece captures 1920s architecture for a modern vintage look.
Key Features
Architectural Art Deco aesthetic; very popular 'emerald cut' stone shape; versatile sky blue color; lightweight and easy to ship.
Authenticity Indicators
No visible hallmarks or maker's marks; construction style (glued stone, cast metal) confirms it is high-street costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant tarnishing on the chain (may need replacement or silver dip); some plating loss on the horizontal metal bar; small surface scratches on the glass stone.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (as vintage), Depop (attracts younger vintage buyers), or eBay (best for broad reach).
Selling Tips
Deep clean the metal areas with a soft cloth to remove surface grime. Photograph against a white or marble background to make the blue glass 'pop.' Use keywords like 'Art Deco Revival,' 'Geometric,' 'Emerald Cut,' and 'Nouveau.'
