Antique Liquid Silver Choker Necklace with Turquoise and Coral Nuggets - This antique necklace is designed in a traditional liquid silver style, featuring fine tubular beads strung together to form a fluid, cord-like strand. The necklace is accented with five natural gemstone nuggets including three light blue turquoise stones and two reddish-orange coral stones, spaced along the lower half of the strand. The construction utilizes a barrel screw clasp for closure. No hallmarks, maker's marks, or metal purity stamps are visible on the beads or the clasp. The design is characteristic of Southwestern-style jewelry. Length: 14.5 inches. This antique item is in used condition with signs of age consistent with its period. There is visible surface oxidation and tarnish on the tubular beads and the clasp (photo 3). The gemstone nuggets show natural surface irregularities and varied textures inherent to the material. The screw clasp remains functional.
