ULTRA RARE LINA BARETTI GOLDEN AMBER DEMI PARURE ~ CRYSTAL & IN SOUTH AFRICA

Ultra Rare LINA BARETTI Golden Amber Demi Parure ~ Crystal & Amber Collar Necklace with Earrings Attributed to Lina Baretti, France.  Lina Baretti designed and made pieces for Elsa Schiaparelli from 1936-1938. This collar necklace is attributed to the Wedding Jewellery designer Lina Baretti (1899-1994). This hand made necklace includes beautiful faceted Golden Brown AB beads, round beads, which might be red or honey copal beads (young amber beads) and small faceted cabochon beads in an intricate design, stitched to the golden mesh of the choker.  It attaches with a typical hook clasp of the era, with a beautiful drop tipped with another faceted crystal bead.  It is all stitched to a baby soft piece of suede. Her rare and highly collectible piece are generally unsigned. Needless to say, a great conversation starter. Condition:  In my opinion, one bead at the back, right next to the clasp, is missing.  This set is in excellent vintage condition.
