Vintage Jewels by Julio Gold Tone Mesh Collar Necklace with Clear Rhinestones, Wide Choker

Description
A line of clear rhinestones curves along the edge of this gold mesh collar like a ring of stars around a planet. Small baguette clusters sit at the center and at each side. It is a signed Jewels by Julio piece from the 1950s–1960s. The woven mesh is soft and flexible, so the collar rests smoothly against the neck instead of sitting stiffly. It suits an evening neckline, and it also looks good layered with a long pendant, as shown.

Materials
Gold-tone metal mesh, clear rhinestones
