Circa 1945 - handmade rhinestone necklace.

Custom, handset rhinestone necklace - made for my mother in 1945. She was a model and a New York icon. She wore it many times, but I wore it on NYE, black tie party, 1999 as well as to a presidential ball. Heavy and artful, my mother wore it turned around with the dangles going down her back. The woman who wears this makes a statement. And my photos cannot do it justice!
