Vintage Art Deco Czech Max Neiger (?) blue lapis lazuli glass, colourful rhinestone & gold tone necklace, beautifully shaped stones

Beautiful Art Deco vintage lapis lazuli glass, paste and antique gold tone Czech panel necklace. Consists of geometric shaped lapis lazuli glass pieces and different coloured rhinestones with beautifully shaped panels. The faux lapis cabochons are a beautiful vivid blue colour. This is an absolutely stunning piece with classic geometric Art Deco features.

To me, this feels like a Czech piece from the Gablonz area - it is clear when you handle the necklace that it is a quality piece. It may be from highly sought after makers Max and Norbert Neiger, but I do not have its provenance. It fastens with a pretty push-in box clasp and has a length of about 16.5 inches. The necklace is in very good vintage condition.

A plea: Please don’t message me aggressively outlining the ways in which your opinions on Neiger pieces differ from mine or those of other varied “experts”. Ideally, don’t message me at all unless you’d like more information on the item or to exchange ideas in a pleasant fashion. The fact is that the Neiger brothers were cruelly murdered by the Nazis like so many other innocent people. All records have been lost and ‘research’ into the history is incredibly sparse and lacking in evidence, so all opinions on what was and wasn’t produced by them are just that - opinions. And as we know - everybody’s got them!
