30 INCHES TIMES TWO

Here are two thirty inch necklaces from two different decades: the 1950s and the 1980s. The first necklace is Coco Chanel Haute Couture designed by Robert Goossens. A mix of imitation coral pearls twisted around gold metal in a very unusual design, it may lack a Chanel stamp as vintage runway jewelry often does, but it has all the hallmarks of the famous Goossens work for Chanel.

The second necklace is the perfect black tie strand of pearls -- literally. When your necklace is a strand of pearls attached to a crystal bow tie, you have black tie covered! Now we do suggest you actually wear something with this Valentino Night necklace, as we don't know if the world is ready for a bare breasted black tie moment!

Valentino Night large pearl necklace with crystal diamond and ruby bow ties, c. early 1980s. 30" SOLD
