OXFORD JEWEL     History ’ s unique beauty, worn today. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Machine age, as well as Art Deco, jewelry was born from the worldwide fascination with progress—sleek metal machines, or bold colors, respectively. Hence, this necklace from the period represents both movements beautifully, for a decidedly vintage feel. The chain is made of chrome bars that link together for a striking profile of rigidity against flexibility. The front of the necklace is decorated with chrome spheres and dimensional half-moons of a period-specific material: Bakelite. The plastic, seen here colored a fun cherry red, is not as common as one might think, especially for a style like this necklace. When worn, the necklace’s use of strong geometric shapes, three-dimensional chrome and Bakelite elements, and intriguing chain make for an eye-catching, uncommon silhouette around your neck.

Note that this necklace is likely German made.
