Silesion gold tone iron wire works vintage 17 in necklace with red rhinestones

Silesian Iron Wirework Necklace is a piece of jewelry made of iron wire that was intricately woven together to create a delicate and lace-like design. It is thought to have originated in Silesia, a region that is now part of Germany and Poland, in the late 1700s. The earliest surviving examples date from around 1780. It is characterized by their intricate designs and their light weight. The wire is often twisted and woven in complex patterns, and the finished pieces can be quite delicate. Some necklaces also feature beads or other embellishments.
