	Charming deco green glass flowers in the "fruit salad style" made popular by Cartier looks like vintage Trifari or TKF. Pendant measures over one inch wide and is extended from a 14 inch long dainty "paper clip" chain. Best for a slender neck! The only mark we can find is the number "26" stamped into the back and we suspect this is the style number of the piece rather than the date. Beautifully finished and looks to be rhodium plated. Note the two ornamental rhinestone stations that attach the chain to the pendant. There are no tiny rhinestones in the centers of the flowers. This is not noticeable without a loupe and if you prefer, we can insert tiny rhinestones but they would be a newer cut than this early 1930's piece warrants A must have for fruit salad or early Trifari collectors. Order "3A9-300deco," $85.00 as shown.

	An unusual combination of period jewelry (1800's) jet mourning necklace and a newer (circa 1915 - 1925) sterling locket by Marathon.

Another full view here. Another view of the front of the locket. There are a couple of minor dings to the locket, nothing major. View locket open with vintage photo. View the back.
