Jeweled Horse Multistrand Black Glass Beaded Necklace

Costume jewelry has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, when it emerged as an affordable alternative to fine jewelry. It gained prominence in the 20th century, thanks to fashion icons like Coco Chanel, who popularized mixing high and low fashion. The 1970s and 1980s were particularly influential, marked by bold designs, vibrant colors, and the rise of pop culture, disco, and power dressing, which made costume jewelry a key element of self-expression. This exquisite vintage jeweled horse black beaded necklace, which can double as a choker and is attributed to Ciner, dates from the 1970s to 1980s.
