This choker is from the 50's and made of gold plated brass with faux gold stone cube shaped components. The gold stone is pinkish with gold glittery flecks through out. The hinges are well made and allow the 1. 5 inch components to move and settle. It is a true choker adjusting to 18 inches. The links are cast, not stamped, so have a nice weight and feel to them.

This metal and faux stone 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 makers marks on the choker.

NecromanceNola sells this type of vintage necklace often since it was well made, usually plated multiple times and had unique design. The bright gold plating has some problems, but is not that noticeable on the bottom part of a few of the bows. The price reflects these flaws. The hook clasp and small chain with metal ball are original to the necklace and are functional.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Www.Etsy.Com/Shop/Necromancenola.
