Open Cuff Choker Appraisal

Two-Piece Faux Pearl Open Cuff Choker and Bracelet Set

This jewelry set includes a larger rigid choker-style collar and a matching smaller cuff bracelet, both exhibiting a modern, minimalist torque design. The pieces are constructed from a yellow-gold-tone metal wire base, likely a base metal with a thin plating. The necklace features three large, white faux pearl beads, each flanked by polished silver-tone cylindrical spacers that hold the beads in place along the curve. The ends of the collar are finished with simple silver-tone flat-top caps. The conforming bracelet follows a similar aesthetic, featuring two faux pearls at the terminal ends, positioned just before the silver-tone capping. The faux pearls exhibit a high-luster finish characteristic of synthetic coatings, showing some surface reflections. The gold-tone plating on the wire shows signs of light wear and minor oxidation or tarnishing, particularly near the joints and terminals, suggesting contemporary manufacturing rather than fine jewelry. No visible maker’s marks or hallmarks are present in the view, indicating a mass-produced fashion or costume jewelry origin likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The open-ended design allows for slight flexibility in fitting, though the rigid metal indicates a fixed-shape style intended for contemporary formal or semi-formal wear.
