Vintage Mid-Century Signed West Germany Sculpted Milk Glass and Rhinestone Collar Necklace
Elevate your vintage catalog with this striking Vintage West Germany Milk Glass Collar Necklace. Measuring 15 inches, this authentic mid-century piece beautifully blends unusual geometric glasswork with classic rhinestone accents, exemplifying the exceptional post-war costume jewelry design coming out of Europe in the 1950s and 1960s.
The necklace showcases a unique graduated design. The upper strands are composed of smooth, oval-shaped opaque white milk glass beads. As the necklace drapes toward the center, it transitions into sculptural, interlocking "X" or chevron-molded glass links. Interspersed among these modern, architectural center shapes are bright rhinestone spacer rondelles that add a sophisticated hint of sparkle. Strung on flexible structural wire links for a perfect fit against the skin, the piece finishes with an adjustable bead tail and a classic hook clasp stamped "M. West Germany."

Product Highlights
  • Authentic Historical Signature: Clearly stamped on the side of the hook clasp with the sought-after maker's mark "M. West Germany".
  • Two-Tone Bead Texture: Combines smooth, sleek oval milk glass frames with rare, geometric interlocking chevron glass centerpieces.
  • Faceted Rhinestone Accents: High-brilliance clear rhinestone spacer rounds punctuate the center bib area to catch the light beautifully.
  • Tailored Collar Frame: At 15 inches, it is engineered to rest elegantly flush against the collarbone, ideal for formal necklines or elevating basic daily attire.
