Vintage Gold-Tone and Rhinestone Floral Choker Necklace

This item is a vintage gold-tone choker-style necklace featuring an elaborate floral design adorned with clear rhinestones. The necklace chain appears to be a delicate, possibly serpentine or box link, terminating in an adjustable chain length with a small, ornate clasp, which is visible in one of the crop images. The dominant central motif is a cluster of approximately five gold-toned flowers, each crafted from thin metal, giving them a slightly three-dimensional quality with gently curved petals. Several smaller individual flowers and leaves extend upwards and downwards from this central cluster, creating an asymmetrical cascade effect. Each flower and some of the leaf elements are embellished with small, round, clear rhinestones, typically arranged in clusters of two or three per floral element, simulating dew drops or central stamens. The metal has a slightly aged, antique gold finish, showing some areas of possible wear or patina, particularly on the chain and the backside of the floral elements. There are no readily discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided images. The craftsmanship suggests a costume jewelry piece from the mid-20th century, likely between the 1950s and 1970s, due to its design aesthetic and material choice. The construction appears to be well-executed for costume jewelry, with individual elements attached securely. No major damage or missing stones are apparent, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm the condition of every rhinestone setting and the integrity of the gold-tone plating across all surfaces.
