Faux Pearl Rhinestone and Matte Gold Beaded Necklace

Matte gold costume jewelry gained prominence in the early 20th century as an affordable alternative to genuine gold, with notable periods like the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements showcasing its appeal. Simultaneously, the rise of costume jewelry using faux pearls took off during the mid-20th century, popularized by fashion icons like Coco Chanel. In 1924, Chanel introduced her iconic pearl-encrusted designs, contributing to the enduring allure of both matte gold and pearl costume jewelry. This  faux pearl and matte gold necklace dates back to the 1950s to 1960s and is elegantly strung on a metal cord.
