Materials and Features:

• Italian Studio Dual-Injection Galalith: Features high-density sky blue Galalith (milk-protein resin) tubes with seamless, flush-injected white linear pinstripes. This sophisticated industrial technique creates a permanent graphic texture, a hallmark of the premium Italian Mod movement.

• Architectural Graduated Ribbed Centerpiece: A complex five-panel focal point featuring graduated ribbed cylinders. This rhythmic, geometric silhouette is a signature of the Giuliano Fratti studio logic, treating high-grade industrial Galalith as a sculptural, luxury medium.

• Mid-Century "Industrial" Spacers: Features gold-flash over brass flat washer-style spacers throughout. These specialized components exhibit an authentic archival patina (black micro-pitting and oxidation) consistent with 1960’s European boutique metallurgy.

• Lucite Buffer Terminals: Features clear Lucite beads positioned at the transition between the gold end-caps and the hardware, ensuring a smooth, architectural "buffer" for the adjustable chain.

• Archival Pin-Set Extender: The adjustable chain is finished with a weighted gold-tone ball secured with a traditional mid-century pin-set assembly—a forensic marker of professional-grade studio construction.

Type: Adjustable collar choker necklace with a "J" hook clasp and a gold-tone extender chain.

Age/Origin: 1964 - 1968 / Italy (Giuliano Fratti Attributed)

Marks: Unmarked (Attributed based on documented Italian dual-injection labor, component metallurgy, and pin-set terminal engineering).

Measurements:

• Weight: 19g

• Dimensions: Approx. 15” inner circumference at widest setting; .25” (5mm) tube diameter.

Condition: Very good archival condition. The injected colors remain vibrant and the structural integrity of the dual-cord stringing is excellent. Authentic minor age patina (oxidation and pitting) on the brass spacers confirms its 60-year provenance.
