Stunning Vintage Trifari Choker Necklace

This is a very high quality costume choker necklace made by the company Trifari, below is a brief history for the company, this piece dates I think from the 1970's and is constructed from a gilded metal base set with cut glass amber coloured stones flanked by small cut glass black stones. It comes in very good condition but there are 5 small black stones missing, it measures 14 inches long. Since the 1920s, Trifari has been one of the most respected and admired producers of costume jewelry in the United States. Founded in the 1910s by Gustavo Trifari, the Italian-immigrant son of a Napoli goldsmith, the company has designed jewelry that's been worn by countless high-profile clients, from Mamie Eisenhower to Madonna.
