Her label is highly sought after by individuals and collectors looking for statement pieces which are both distinctive and superbly executed. This deco/neo modern sterling pendant has a timeless and elegant appeal.

It is probably a Deco motif but is transcendental in design. It is heavy, sterling 2 1/4” wide and 1 1/2" top to bottom. It weighs an impressive 12.4 Grams.

The sphere has a hole in top and tiny at bottom, maybe to put in a hint of perfume. The bale is perfect and the piece appears to have minimal/faint wear.

The Nettie ROSENSTEIN HALLMARK and sterling stamp are clearly seen on the reverse bottom. The hallmark is encased in the classic ROSENSTEIN rectangle box.
