Rare 1940s New York City 15.5-inch statement choker. Proudly manufactured in the NYC Garment District, this maximalist piece features authentic pink Japanese Cherry Brand glass dangles. These imported beads are famous for the four-dimple hand-struck texture created by Osaka artisans. Heavily influenced by Miriam Haskell and Frank Hess, the necklace is adorned with ornate figural charms including grape clusters and pagodas that create a delightful audible chime when worn. The non-magnetic brass features a deliberate bronze wash to highlight Victorian details. Dimensions: 15.5 inches with original oversized bolt ring spring clasp. Meticulously inspected for quality. Substantial weight with elegant movement and sound.
