Vintage DoubleSpiral Twisted SilverWire Filigree Link Choker Collar Necklace

About the Item

Featuring handmade double-spiral filigree links, this vintage collar choker necklace was created by tightly twisting fine silver wire, which was an artisan technique popular in the 1930s. The 34 links are virtually identical with the exception of the last one, which is wrapped into a ring for hook closure. As traces of the elaborate process on the reverse side, tiny hammer or plier marks are visible at the ends of each spiral, while each link is hand shaped from a single wire. In excellent condition, the necklace does not seem older than the 20th Century despite the classic double-spiral motif used in older Greek and Egyptian jewelry.

  • Early Renoir MidCentury Copper Stylized Tulip 18 Link Choker Necklace
    By Renoir
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Without a post-1955 copyright symbol and with the brand's earliest script signature, this likely late 1940s signed Renoir shiny copper choker necklace features 18 links each stylized as a tulip flowerhead in a modernized bolder Art Nouveau style. The American jewelry company's exclusive durable "Copron" finishing on the top of the links prevents tarnishing and fingerprints. The functional tiny linear links and the reverse side of the necklace were meant to remain blackened, while a black signature is impressed on the underside of the fold-over clasp. Comparatively without the additional enamel decoration of the company's post-1952 jewelry line signed Matisse...
