Women wore them over their outer clothes, and sometimes used pins to keep the separate tiers lying smoothly in place.  They wore their hair piled high on top of their head, wrapped in cloth and ribbons, so that the decorative clasp could be seen clearly at the nape of the neck.\r\n\r\nMany of these necklaces were betrothal or wedding gifts, and often carry the initials of the bridal pair or the name of the bride, together with the date, on the back of the clasp.  These inscriptions are almost always scratched or stippled by the bride or groom themselves, not professionally engraved.\r\n\r\nThis necklace has the inscription 'A. Hadler 1888' stippled on the back of the clasp.","physicalDescription":"Necklace of five graduated rows of silver filigree beads, fastened by a decorative snap clasp.  Silver-gilt clasp with an oval of filigree on the front, decorated with coil rings, lozenges, granules and a ring of turquoise pastes round a central garnet-coloured paste with two further garnet pastes, with a crown of coil rings above.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"},{"text":"silver-gilt","id":"x37998"},{"text":"paste","id":"AAT10803"}],"techniques":[{"text":"filigree","id":"x35885"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver filigree beads with silver-gilt filigree clasp set with pastes","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"},{"text":"Traditional jewellery (Europe)","id":"THES270343"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006BK0239","2006BK0240","2012FJ3155"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91M (VA)","id":"THES49137"},"free":"","case":"71","shelf":"C","box":"3"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Necklace","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Altes Land","id":"x40972"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1888","earliest":"1883-01-01","latest":"1892-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"88","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"1.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"6.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'A.
