Mid-Century Double-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace with Butterfly Accents

Story

Post-war fashion in the 1950s underwent a dramatic transformation, moving away from the austerity of the 1940s toward the 'New Look' which celebrated soft lines and decorative flair.

Maker / Origin

While this piece lacks a visible signature, it is consistent with the high-quality 'novelty' costume jewelry produced by firms like Coro, Trifari, or Sarah Coventry.

Condition & Value

The pearls appear to retain a good luster without significant 'peeling' of the nacre coating, which is the primary concern for faux pearls. The metal on the butterflies shows some light patina consistent with age; cleaning should be done carefully to avoid damaging the pearl finish.
