QuickviewChyrsoprase, Onyx, & Ruby Disk Art Deco Choker with Rondelles
Vintage Necklaces, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$195.00This Art Deco necklace features faceted, opaque chrysoprase, onyx and ruby glass disks and rhinestone rondelles.

As often happens with necklaces like this one, the chain has stretched. If you don’t need the full 15″ length and the extra chain bothers you, you could get it cut by an expert jeweler. This colorful and versatile necklace can be worn with many of my other Art Deco pieces, depending on which color you wish to emphasize — scroll down to see a selection. Or wear your real or faux diamond studs to complete the look.
