Art Nuevo..Egyptian period. Egyptian jewelry became quite the fad when King Tuts Tomb was discovered. I have had and sold a number of these items. early 1900's Don't remember the date with out looking it up. Considered antique jewelry. cheaply made from brass or gold filed material with semi precious gem stones even. Yours is a nice example of a necklace. To a collector of this period jewelry it would bring a price of 25 to probably 75 dollars depending on overall condition. Very nice find. Surprised it wasn't id'ed before.

hey everyone,
nope not near water/lol. was found by a very large bottle dump.
and i believe its not a necklace,i juct connected it to take pic of it.
the date tuts tomb was found by carter was 1922.
i had a repo sears catalog and it had horse accrutments looking very simular.just a guess on my part/lol.
p.s. also found a ncr cash registor brass store sign near the same place. the sign was made to be mounted on top of the cash registor.

Sorry, just like I said originally, I think it is Egyptian revival jewelry. Link probably broken off...Too ornate for horse tack..Unless in a circus and then it would be flashier and much larger.......As doc spock would say, not logical..

Looks too big and heavy for jewellery...I would say horse tack as well...

We need a size reference.....Thats my fault for assuming size from photo...

 

[oldtimer82]

the long links are 1 1/2 inch long by 1/4 inch wide. made of very soft brass or copper.
very plyable metal.

Size wise it is correct for Egyptian revival jewelry. SO that's what my final answer is..

Dgjr....you're too young to know... Oh,my..... huh huh.....bellydancer belts were ornate with coins beads ...stuff that was clinkly jingly dazzling dangly etc........example......anyway I think this was worn by an ox or an azz or a horse.............hehehe

OK, here's a wild guess but I think the horse chain idea is much closer. In fact, think camel and a circus.
