Vintage Gold Tone Panel Collar Necklace

Description
Eleven domed, curved panels follow the line of the collarbone, each one polished to a mirror and edged in fine rope detail. A 1980s piece from the decade of sculptural gold-tone collars, with the weight and finish of the better costume houses. The reverse is brushed satin, and each link is hinged so the collar moves with the body. It sits close at the neck and carries a plain shirt or dress on its own.

Materials
Gold-tone metal
