These are very rare Vintage Swarovski Rose Montees - Size 15 Crystal set in a sterling silver setting. The size is 3.5mm. They are approx. from the 1930s. They are used in jewelry designs such as Miriam Haskell’s and in the textile industry to sew onto the most fashionably designed dresses. The crystal, known as the Rose is a faceted, flat back stone called a rose cut. The Montee is the silver setting that the crystal is "married" to. Notice the back of the Rose Montee has a cross space to allow room to sew or wire them to designs. They come to you on a temporary strand. You get a full gross of these rare beauties. That’s approx. 144 crystals per strand. Just think of all the design possibilities! ( Net priced - no other discounts apply)
