Wie erstaunte das Fräulein, als ihr aus dem Kästchen ein Paar goldne, reich mit Juwelen besetzte Armbänder und eben ein solcher Halsschmuck entgegenfunkelten.

How amazed the mistress was when out of the box a pair of golden bracelets richly studded with jewels and just such a necklace sparkled at her.

Tom, I actually like your expression: 'just such a necklace'.

What do you think of "...with jewels and a similar necklace..."? I think the author might be saying that the necklace is also golden and has jewels. The "eben ein solcher" wording seems to be unusual, at least to me .
