Embrace mid-century runway glamour with this vintage statement choker necklace signed HR Paris (Helena Rubinstein).
Known for her trailblazing cosmetics empire and an immoderate personal love for bold jewelry, Rubinstein’s signature pieces brought theatrical haute couture flair to modern fashion.
This piece features a striking interlocking swirl motif offset by creamy enamel accents, offering an incredibly chic, structural profile on a display bust
Materials: Gold-tone base metal featuring hand-painted cream/ivory enamel inlay strips nestled along the central channels
This item is in good, wearable vintage condition but displays cosmetic signs of age and prior wear that are typical for mid-century plated costume jewelry:
This necklace is in fair/distressed vintage condition and shows significant cosmetic wear from age, priced accordingly:
Plating Wear: There is heavy, visible plating loss, flaking, dark tarnishing, and surface pitting on the front and sides of the rigid collar bars
Link Wear: The gold-tone plating shows noticeable rub wear and fading along the outer edges of the interlocking swirl links
Enamel: The cream enamel inlays remain completely intact, smooth, and free of cracks or missing chunks.
Structure: The articulating link joints are perfectly fluid, and the fold-over clasp operates securely.
This piece still retains its beautiful structural lines and rare designer pedigree, making it ideal for restoration, a costume design piece, or a collector who loves the distressed vintage look. Please review all macro photos & read description for an exact representation of the condition.
