ART Black Velvet Forget-Me-Not Blue Flower Choker - American Antique Jewelry Vintage Jewelry

An exceptionally rare velvet choker 😍😍 · Chokers were first seen in portraits of Queen Anne Boleyn in the 16th century; during the French Revolution in the 1790s, female relatives of martyrs wore red ribbons to express their grief; and in the Victorian era, inspired by the Queen, royalty and wealthy celebrities began to wear chokers as a symbol of their social status. Throughout its long history, the development of the choker has been filled with rich stories and emotions, becoming a distinctive mainstream accessory in every era and style of the mid-20th century. Typically, dark velvet chokers are adorned with ornate embellishments as a focal point. Today's velvet choker, with three forget-me-nots on a black background, appears small and simple, but it inherits the ornate revival style of Mr. Arthur Pepper, framing the small floral wreath with delicate embossing. Upon closer inspection, the petals of the small flowers are slightly three-dimensional and bud-like, subtly and sweetly recreating the elegant grandeur of history. . . 〖 ART 〗 Jewelers marked as ART or MODE ART were founded by Arthur Pepper in New York in the 1940s.
