In my Mothers' jewellry was an old necklace made of metal squares. It mesures 18" across the top and has a Rau Fastener Co. snap to join it. The necklace has been heavily coated with gold. It is NOT a kerchief or scarf design. The little squares join by circles on the under side and count 3 squares down, then 5/6, 6/7 etc. until you reach the centre. At centre front it is 9/10. Very Egyptian styled appearance. Has anyone seen another like this and can anyone give me a date. I'm thinking 1920's but maybe 1930's. I have loved it since I was a small child and am now a senior.Mom just passed at 93.

Hello,
Yes a photo is needed to give an idea on the dating. There was a revival of Egyptian jewelry in the early 1960s after the film Cleopatra came out (1963?), and also in the later 1950s and your necklace could one of those massive bib types that were so popular then. Of course, even better if it is 1920s or 30s.

That is a great necklace. I see 1930s.
Very nice, I wonder if it could be a Whiting and Davis piece. Unusual catch on it as well.
I agree with Barbara, I seen 30s or maybe very early 1940s.
