My heart stopped when I saw this circa 1925 Egyptian Revival necklace: it was clearly made in Egypt or the Near East yet uses Czechoslovakian glass and silver-luster stones. It’s a brilliant pairing of East and West in one memorable design.
The pendant measures 4" by 1 ¾" by about 3/8" deep (including the bale and Czecho glass teardrop). The frame around the portrait of the caramel slag glass pharaoh portrait is made of a silver tone metal. It could be a lower-than-sterling purity, and has a pair of mummies richly stamped in hieroglyphics on each side of the portrait.

The raised glass "cameo" is highlighted in a muted russet rose tone that matches the swirls in the glass cabochon jewels and the teardrop that is suspended from a ball-chain drape. Four facetted black/silver luster glass jewels simulating marcasites sparkle on the sides.
The 20" long necklace with spring-ring clasp is original—you can see it was secured into a thin, soldered sleeve inside the fancy, wide, stamped bale and is not removable—no need to worry about it going missing! The spring-ring clasp is a little off center in the back but I prefer to leave original items as found, especially when they are in such enviable condition as this necklace is! For a shot of color, I added a bit of russet rose cording to play off the Czecho glass; you could create a similar effect with a ribbon, string, or beaded chain. The pendant has an impressive size, intricate style, and is so quintessentially Egyptian Revival that you will be transported to the pyramids each time you slip it on!
