Vintage ART Light Gold-tone Leaf Choker Necklace

Vintage necklace made by ART. This has a light gold-tone color. It is a chicken with sort of a leaf design. The chain is slightly discolored and doesn’t match the necklace. Chain original to necklace. Don’t side of necklace in good condition. I only see a little wear at the joints or connecting parts of the necklace on the back, very minor. I’m being critical. My guess this dates to the 1950’s. Approx length 12 1/2” - 15 1/4” ModeArt Jewelry Creations Inc. was founded in the late 1940's by Arthur Pepper and believed to be in business until the 1970's. Some pieces are marked ART ©, ArtMode and ModeArt. “Choose very carefully a few costume ornaments such as earrings, a necklace and bracelet. If you keep them all to say, gilt in winter and white beads in summer, you will never look wrongly trimmed.” – Woman’s Weekly, July 1954 Retro 1950’s Leaf Leaves Choker Gilt
