Vintage Poggi Paris Bronze Tone and Uranium Glass Statement Necklace

Emerging from the celebrated Parisian atelier of Patrick Poggi, this vintage collar necklace is a masterclass in French costume jewelry design. Poggi Paris is highly regarded for substantial metalwork and the use of premium materials, and this particular piece holds a highly collectible secret. Set within the articulated bronze-tone geometric panels are vivid green rhinestones crafted from uranium glass mixed throughout, which glow with a brilliant luminescence under ultraviolet light. Paired with rich amethyst-hued glass cabochons and clear crystal accents, the necklace represents a rare intersection of renowned French designer provenance and the highly sought-after novelty of vaseline glass. Such distinct combinations from established European makers are increasingly difficult to source on the secondary market.
