Wishbone & Seed Pearl on Velvet ChokerAlways a Victorian girl at heart, I thought that velvet chokers would be a wonderful way to give new life to the unique jewels I find in my travels. They were so popular throughout the 19th century, and then again in the nostalgic fashions of the 1990s. Each jewel is true antique or vintage & the velvet ribbon chokers were assembled by me. This one features a gold toned vintage wishbone with a faux seed pearls. Refer to photos for size and condition:
