This handmade designer necklace is listed as made by the Wiener Werkstatte. " The Wiener Werkstatte (1903-32) was a collaborative of designers and craftsmen that sought to create an art appropriate for a modern age. They saw functional and decorative objects as equal to the fine arts and strove for a precise balance of form and color." Quote from "Wiener Werkstatte Jewelry" Neue Gallery, NYC.I picture this necklace acting as a collar around the base of the neck. It is made of tiny seed beads in a rainbow of colors. The patterned stripe and check pieces must have been woven. They are connected by multicolor strands of beads the repeat the color in the design. I would love to know how the necklace keeps it's octagon shape. I would be greatly appreciative if anyone out there in cyber space can enlighten me.
