{"product_id":"three-strand-graduated-pearl-necklace-1950s","title":"Three Strand Graduated Pearl Necklace, 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree strands, graduated, small at the nape and building to the largest pearls right at the center of your collarbone. That is the whole trick of a bib necklace. It walks the eye down to the exact place you want it and then stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are glass pearls, not oyster pearls, and that is not an apology. Coco Chanel spent the 1920s dismantling the idea that a jewel is worth only what its material cost. She wore faux pearls by the fistful and never pretended otherwise, because the point was never the receipt. It was the effect. Every three strand pearl necklace made in the fifty years after her owes something to that argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clasp is where the money went. A rectangular box set with square table cut and round rhinestones in milgrain bezels, silver tone, deco lines.  The clasp is part of the necklace here, not the hardware you turn around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn, and honestly worn. The finish has softened on some pearls, a few have gone warm at the surface, and the metal at the strand connectors has darkened with age. It has been somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree graduated strands of glass faux pearls, cream with a warm cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhinestone box clasp, square table cut and round stones in milgrain bezels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver tone metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirca 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood vintage condition with honest wear, finish softening on some pearls and darkening at the metal connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear it to remember:\u003c\/strong\u003e nobody has ever needed to see the receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Inheritance Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47549132308642,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/6610\/7042\/files\/pearls_01_worn.jpg?v=1787350697","url":"https:\/\/www.theinheritancecollective.com\/products\/three-strand-graduated-pearl-necklace-1950s","provider":"The Inheritance Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
