Seller is responsible for all writing herein but A.I. answered with this added construction description:
A I The reverse view shows distinct, individual metal cups linked by short, visible connecting bars/wires rather than a continuous machine-stamped channel or glued-in stones. That articulated linking is the hallmark of better mid-1950s work: it allows the strands to move and catch light independently, and it required more hand-finishing.
Combined with the rhodium plating and the overall waterfall design from a domed topper, these sit solidly in the higher-quality unsigned category.No maker’s mark is very common for this style and period. [/end A I].
