This is a 'cream of the crop' piec...e, definitely able to make a statement, and would have been costly to produce with each 'bookchain' link having enamel and a nice garnet-red cabochon. The body of the bird pendant is just encrusted with different bands of coloured beads, and there are swarovski crystals set at the upper wings. This piece is near mint: the only detriment is 2 missing tiny turquoise beads on the body as seen in the photos. Finding the right size, this should be a quick and easy fix. The enamel and gold is in really excellent condition. There is light 'greening' on the surface sometimes seen on gold plated pieces. I wouldn't say verdigris: it looks like some sort of patina almost. I have not cleaned or polished this piece.
