Lucite Black and Translucent Choker Collar Necklace

Lucite, recognized for its transparency, durability, and adaptability, found its way into jewelry design during the mid-20th century, gaining notable popularity in the 1940s and 1950s. Amid World War II, when conventional jewelry materials were scarce due to rationing, the industry turned to alternative materials, with acrylic plastics like Lucite emerging as an appealing choice. Designers appreciated its versatility, using it to create vibrant, bold pieces that reflected the era's innovation and style. This vintage Lucite collar necklace dates back to the 1950s to 1960s. 

Dimensions: length 14 1/2 x width 1 1/2 inches
