FYI For centuries, the foundries of old Czechoslovakia have been renowned for their impressive crystal, glass & jewelry craftsmanship. This crystal tree comes directly from Jablonec, Czechoslovakia which was formerly called Gablonze before WWII. (Many of the Jewelry houses closed during the war.) From 1925-1950s, Czech jewelry was heavily soldered, typically with copper or pot metal (a mixture of semi-precious metals). Often these pieces display maker's marks indicating the district name of the jewelry company. Sometimes the word Czech' will appear on the back as well. When they were made in the 1920s to the 1950s, film stars had first begun to set popular taste & their luxurious jewels were duplicated best of all by the Czechs. The nation was Bohemia prior to World War I, remember, & they had centuries of expertise in creating & setting the finest crystal gems. The dots of solder on the reverses aren't actually repairs, but preventive strengthening measures undertaken to prevent potential damage. in 1918 the Czechs & Slovaks united. They were finally freed from the rule of Austria & Hungary. The land in which they live became the Czech Republic on January 1st, 1993. Prior to WW I, the jewelry from this area was called Bohemian & often not marked. After WW I, the jewelry was marked with Czecho, Czecho-slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Czech or Made in Czechoslovakia. Please enjoy your unique & colorful statement piece, remembering that the Czech style was bold, unusual, & often asymmetrical in design. Vintage
