FYI
For centuries, the foundries of old Czechoslovakia have been renowned for their impressive crystal, glass and jewelry craftsmanship. This piece of 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.
When they were made in the 1920s to the 1950s, film stars had first begun to set popular taste and their luxurious jewels were duplicated best of all by the Czechs. The nation was Bohemia prior to World War I, remember, and they had centuries of expertise in creating and 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 and Slovaks united. They were finally freed from the rule of Austria and 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 and often not marked. After WW I, the jewelry was marked with Czecho, Czecho-slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Czech or Made in Czechoslovakia.

Please enjoy your unique and colorful statement piece, remembering that the Czech style was bold, unusual, & often asymmetrical in design.
