1930s-40s Gazelle Necklace by Coro

[svgallery name="Turq Gazelle"]

Three galloping gazelles add an air of Art Nouveau style to this 1930s or more likely 1940s necklace by Coro.  Necklace bears their Pegasus mark with Coro in a tapered rectangle and Des. Pat. Pend. below.  All of this can be found on the fold over clasp.  The links at the back of this necklace have a pattern stamped on them.  Set in silver toned metal.  I was surprised to discover all the “stones” are plastic.

Measurements

15 inches in wearable length

1 inch at it’s widest point

Links are .5 inches wide.

Condition

My mother replaced several of the turquoise colored stones, although she did such a good job, I can’t tell which of the small ones are originals or replacements.  The larger ones are all original to the piece.  There is some wear to the metal on the reverse.

Grade: Very Good
