Vintage early Askew London hand, heart and star heavy fringe necklace, statement piece in chic dark silver tone & clear rhinestone, unique
Fabulous vintage and highly collectable Askew London statement fringe necklace in dark silver tone with clear heart shaped rhinestones, silver tone star drops and beautiful cuffed hand / gauntlet charms. It is heavy, detailed and absolutely stunning. Many of the earlier Askew pieces are unsigned and were sold in the Askew boutique next to Selfridges just off Oxford Street in London. This piece is not signed but the design, quality and components are unmistakable.
All of Askew's pieces are unique - Sue Askew lives in London and cleverly incorporates original vintage and antique jewellery components to make her elaborate pieces. She finishes her pieces with top quality semi-precious stones and art glass pieces. She began designing and producing in 1979 I believe, so this piece could actually originate from that time up to the present day.
This is a stunning statement necklace in silver tone. It measures about 17 inches in length around the neck and fastens with an over-sized spring ring clasp. It is in excellent vintage condition. I think it would make a lovely set with the high heeled shoe earrings also in my shop.
