This necklace has a nice feel to it. The hinges are sturdy and allow the metal bars to slink together. It is an Egyptian collar style and is a choker size measuring 18 inches. The width measures 3/8 inch. The links are thinly stamped metal giving it a machine part vibe. It is made of raw brass and is antiquing naturally.

This metal necklace is circa 1950 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time. The first half of the 20th century was the heyday for well made costume jewelry sold from fine department stores to Woolworth, usually made in Europe or the United States. The manufacture and quality of costume jewelry deteriorated in the latter part of the century making this era the last with enduring products.

There are no marks or manufacturer name on this piece.

NecromanceNola sells this type of vintage necklace often since it was well made, usually plated multiple times and had unique design. The chain links are a unique, square-domed shape and have a nice weight to them. The lobster claw is original to the necklace and is functional. These metal chokers pair well with our longer vintage chain jewelry.
