Gilded Age Bridal Collar

This rare and exquisite pearl beaded collar necklace, dating from the Gilded Age (circa 1880-1890), is a true testament to vintage elegance. The romantic pearl and glass beaded trim in antique white is delicately mounted on silk satin soutache cord, creating a timeless piece of bridal or dress ornamentation.

The "pearl" beads are made of very thin, breathy glass, giving the collar a surprisingly lightweight feel while retaining its luxurious appearance. The intricate design and delicate craftsmanship make it an ideal addition to any vintage collection or for a Victorian-inspired bridal look.

The inside curve of the neckline measures approximately 21 inches, with the length at the center to the fringe end extending about 7 1/2 inches. This authentic Gilded Age ornament is both rare and romantic, offering a beautiful touch of history and refinement to any special occasion or display.
