Choker Necklace Gold Tone Metal Wide Fitted Choker Length with Extender Chain and Lobster Claw Clasp a Statement Piece by Graziano$36.00
This vintage Graziano gold tone metal choker necklace is made to be worn close to the throat. It is gently curved to fit your throat shape, with a slightly rounded top side and a flat underside. The full length of the formed 1 inch wide metal is 20 inches and with the extender chain the length can be as long as 23 inches.
At the back there is a metal hang tag with the copyright symbol and CN Graziano logo with signature block style font on the front and back sides.
This choker is in Excellent Vintage condition, with no visible wear on the gold tone metal and the lobster claw style clasp works well.
For the finish the designer chose a smooth gold tone. Each of the ribbed sections (see detailed photo) is approximately 1/8 inches wide and together they form a hollow 20 inch long domed tube. The inside of the tube is 19 inches, which means that the part closest to your neck is 19 inches and the outside is 20 inches long.
As can be seen in the photos, this necklace remains very flexible and will be easy to wear.
This is a lovely versatile design and one that is a terrific example of the work done by the talented designer, Graziano.
According to their Facebook page "R. J. Graziano is widely considered to be the last master designer jewelry brand. Recognized as the ultimate industry trend setter, Graziano’s collection has an enviable customer base that knows virtually no age restrictions. His signature style embraces fashionable women everywhere.
Graziano's started on the fast track to success more than thirty years ago. At the request of Bloomingdales, R. J. designed a collection exclusively for them that was immediately showcased in the coveted Lexington Avenue windows. Customers raved and this first collection was an immediate sell out. Within six months, Graziano had his first Lord and Taylor full page New York Times ad and his first Neiman Marcus catalogue feature. A star was born."
