Thanks Scandinavian pieces!
Is this type crystal called borealis?I have seen lamp prism like this and that is what Sheri called them.I believe they were also Austrian.Very beautiful !!!!
Sooo Pretty! When I was in high-school our neighborhood had a community yardsale and I bought so many of these...I remember just about everyone said they were their mother's. That night I couldn't close the lid of my jewelry box & I felt like a pirate. I don't see them for sale too often anymore. I still wear them & get compliments...Very Beautiful.
Thanks Hedge and BeauxP!!! Hedge, I'm not sure if it is a borealis or not, but I've heard the term used for some Austrian crystal beads. Beaux, sounds like you have an amazing stash of necklaces!! What a great day that must have been for you.
