Vintage Multi‑Strand Filigree Chain Gold‑Tone Bib Necklace – Victorian Revival– c.1960s
This exquisite vintage bib necklace captures the refined elegance of mid‑century design. Crafted in luminous gold‑tone metal, it features four filigree chains around the neckline and eight cascading strands that drape gracefully from decorative gold findings. Each link is delicately engraved with scrolling motifs, creating a light, airy texture that gleams beautifully when worn. This necklace reflects the Victorian and Edwardian revival styles that defined mid‑century glamour — a silhouette reminiscent of the layered chains worn by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary. The necklace closes with a classic hook clasp and an adjustable chain tipped with a ribbed bead. Unsigned, but its craftsmanship and design language strongly suggest the 1960s era. In very good vintage condition, showing minimal wear and likely unworn.
