Item Overview:
Capture the glamour of the Atomic Age with this stunning mid-century modern "fringe" or collar necklace. This piece features an architectural "book chain" construction that sits elegantly flat against the collarbone, terminating in a series of sophisticated geometric drops. While unsigned, the high-quality craftsmanship—specifically the channeled/ribbed reverse finish—is a classic hallmark of premium 1950s makers like Lisner.
