Here is a Vintage Handcrafted Choker Necklace Hammered Silver? Turquoise Glass, 70's Style.
I bought it from the artist herself in Paris, France, in the 90's.
I wore it only twice, in spite of the fact that I absolutely love it. But it shouldn't remain in a drawer, it is meant to be worn and seen.
The ring part around the neck is very probably in silver because it tarnishes exactly like silver. The pendant may be a silver tone alloy, I am not sure what it is exactly, it may contain some pewter. The stone seems to be made of glass and the turquoise color inside is very deep and fascinating.
The closure at the back is very simple and so easy to open and close.
It has a very Hippie 70's feeling.
Size:
7 3/4" tall (complete length by counting the pendant)
5 3/8" across the width of the ring around the neck
5 3/4" across the ring around the neck from top to bottom
The Pendant only is 1 5/16" wide & 1 1/4" tall without counting the attachment at the top, almost 2" tall by counting the attachment at the top of the pendant.
Condition: The ring around the neck maybe needs to be better polished. Beside this, it is almost like new. Great condition, please, check the photos as well.
