Max and Norbert Neiger were two brothers living in Czechoslovakia who made wonderful jewellery with figural glass components in Gablonz Czechoslovakia from 1905 to the 1930's. Neiger jewellery offers is characterised by beautiful Czech glass beads, and detailed metal bead caps & findings.
As the Germans advanced near Gablonz in 1939, the two Jewish brothers left their factory and escaped to Bohemia where they continued to produce jewellery in a scaled-down operation. They were later arrested in Prague and in 1941, were sent to Lodz Getto where they were registered as workers/manufacturers this is where they very sadly met their death in 1942.
A Stunning Max Neiger Beaded Necklace in Blue Glass and Silver Plated Caps
I've seen a few of these necklaces in different colour but never one with silver plated caps it's gorgeous and it has the doughnut shaped spaces in between the glass. The condition of this necklace is not perfect the links in between the silver plate has come off in places leaving the brass showing below however it's still a stunning necklace. As with most of the Neiger Necklaces they were shortened in the 1930/1940 to reflect the fashions and this necklace is no different it's been shortened for sure.
