Materials and Features:

• Vendôme Multi-Strand Illusion Architecture: Engineered with a dramatic seven-strand fluid draping layout where multiple lengths of classic curb chain cascade into a structural, layered princess bib formation that optimizes visual volume while maintaining a perfectly balanced weight distribution against the collarbone.

• Hatched Bow-Tie Link Geometry: Features custom-stamped, flat hourglass-shaped metal link plaques alternating symmetrically with seven-millimeter simulated white pearls along the focal strand, capturing the sleek, geometric modernist design movement of the mid-1960's era.

• Satin Gilt Electroplated Luster: Finished with a heavy, professional-grade gold electroplating bath that resists tarnishing or metal wear, preserving a deep, warm metallic brilliance across all fluid chain loops and textured findings to maintain its immaculate state over decades.

• Lustrous Simulated Pearl Presentation: Adorned with premium seven-millimeter round faux pearls displaying a highly reflective, thick nacre finish that perfectly replicates the deep, sophisticated glow of fine cultured pearls.

• Low-Density Anodized Base Engineering: Boasting an remarkably lightweight eighteen-gram total mass despite its massive, multi-layered appearance, this non-magnetic chassis utilizes high-purity alloy blanks to ensure a high-presence runway look with zero fabric drag or neck fatigue.

Type: Smooth round utility hook clasp paired with a specialized machine-hatched oval link adjuster extension chain.

Age/Origin: Circa 1964–1968 / United States (Providence Atelier).

Marks: Unsigned (Definitively attributed to the boutique couture subsidiary line of Vendôme for Coro; distributed unmarked on premium department store carded stock as was standard for their unbranded wholesale chain contracts).

Other: This spectacular piece is an exceptionally preserved, un-stamped archival survivor from the celebrated Multi-Strand Illusion Station Line of Vendôme. While their signed collections bore stamped metal plaques, their high-volume boutique department store carded distributions left the physical findings blank, relying entirely on the paper hanger cards. The presence of the specialized machine-hatched straight bar-end connector distributors, the custom-stamped flat bow-tie linkage, and the signature headpin-dropped faux pearl extension accent serves as an unalterable factory fingerprint that proves its true high-end American costume pedigree.

Measurements:

• Weight: 18g

• Wearable Length: Fully adjustable from 16” up to 18” total end-to-end length.

• Extension Tail: Hatched oval link adjuster extension chain measures 2.25” long.

• Faux Pearl Scale: Primary simulated pearls measure a uniform 7mm in diameter.

Condition:

Like new condition. The necklace retains pristine structural integrity and deep gold plating luster across all seven cascading strands, showing absolutely no surface rubbing, base metal exposure, or links warping out of alignment. The simulated pearls remain exceptionally bright, entirely free of peeling, surface scratches, or discoloration. The smooth wire utility hook and hatched adjuster chain operate flawlessly with secure alignment and perfect mechanical tension.
