Antique Art Deco pendant necklace - diamond, carved moonstone, onyx, white gold. Made circa 1920's. <P>
Chain is approx 9 1/2 inches long when doubled. Pendant is 1 1/2 inches long. <P>
Pendant consists of two main parts: An elongated, 4-sided, double walled upper section, containing 3 fairly large diamonds. TO FIND OUT SIZE::::: At the back

of this section is a loop through which the white gold chain is threaded. This section is attached via a hinge to a black onyx rectangle with a hollowed

reserve in the center and set with a fantastically carved moonstone Mephisto head. The detail is fantastic - from the lock of plaited hair on his head, to

his wild eyes and crazy twirling moustache. <P>
The chain consists of alternating round loops and long, scalloped, patterned sections, very typical of French chains. <P>
No hallmarks seen, but gold is 14 carat, as tested.<P>
Good condition - no damage of any sort to be found.<P><P>
Diamonds are approximately: 45, 20 and 14 points respectively.
