Vintage double strand choker - Chunky faux baroque Pearl Necklace
This is a vintage double-strand choker featuring large, chunky faux baroque pearls. The clasp is a decorative, rhinestone-encrusted silver-tone box clasp, a design characteristic of the mid-20th century (roughly 1950s–1960s).
Measures = 9.5” Long
Chunky faux baroque pearls are approx. a wee bit over one half inch (largest)
Key Identification Features
Beads: These are "sugar" or "dimpled" faux pearls, designed with an irregular, hammered surface to mimic expensive natural baroque pearls. They are likely made of plastic or glass with a pearlescent coating.
Clasp: The ornate, multi-stone box clasp is a classic vintage element. These were often used for multi-strand necklaces to keep the strands aligned and add a decorative touch to the back of the neck.
Style: Known as a "bib" or "chunky" choker, this style was popularized by designers like Miriam Haskell and Hattie Carnegie.
I looked this item us as I thought it might be really old. It is not most likely from the 50’s or 60’s
This is a really cool necklace that pairs well with dressy or casual with a touch of fun!
