#83 TRUE VICTORIAN Carved Salmon Coral Faux Pearl Velvet Ribbon Choker

Intricately carved Salmon Coral & Faux Seed Pearl Velvet Choker from my 4 decade collection. Some loss of pearlessence, ribbon frayed from wear generations ago part of antiquity so not trimmed. The pearls are too uniform in shape to be other than Faux & the price of genuine would make the piece prohibitively expensive. Faux pearls have been made for Centuries. In A.D. 83, the Taoist Wang Chung wrote in "Lun Heng," “By following the proper timing pearls can be made from chemicals just as brilliant as genuine ones" Other sources mention Faux Pearls worn in Ancient Rome, many more speak of 13th&16th Century production in Venice.
