Necklance Formed of Eight Dress Ornaments with Eight Links, ca. 1600 (with 19th century additions), probably Transylvanian, possibly South German or Vienna, Gold, enamel, rubies, pearls, L. 42 cm, Probably Transylvania, or possibly South German or Vienna, This necklace was assembled, probably in the nineteenth century, from eight clothing ornaments dating to the early seventeenth century. The prevalence of these ornaments, called boglar, in sixteenth and seventeenth-century inventories of Hungarian women, suggests that they were relatively inexpensive, a theory supported by the minimal use of precious metal
