    This came in. Box of goodies I bought from an estate sale along with a ton of other stuff. But what is it? Necklace? Not trying to be a creep but it looks like bondage to me very pretty...can anyone put a year on it? I’m assuming it isn’t very old. Kinda cool tho

    What does the clasp look like? Your photographs don't clearly include. (And it's helpful for dating.)

    Collar length, as they used to call it - a Queen Alexandra Special. This necklace is pretty new though - some time in the last decade. The rhinestones are all wrong for anything earlier. It's an unusual design though; I don't think I've seen anything similar. Bet it's striking when worn.

    Haven’t found any markings. I’m going to look over it again. Fairly heavy piece. Def not cheaply made either 09276512-6CF5-4E35-AA88-72C53BF84B1C.jpeg 80E06001-3D18-4071-B9A8-3595E8F2F343.jpeg 88001CCD-A7CB-4754-B235-F538FD9CDDD5.jpeg CA82187E-F489-4983-A2C3-BB00836E0880.jpeg

    Is there a clasp on this that I'm not seeing?

    It's British. Marks and Spencer. Chunk of chain missing.

    High Street chain. Bet it was a Jay Strongwater knock-off in inspiration.

    Here's when that serif font was in use.

    1970s–1988

    Eh so basically throw in the garbage instead of selling? I think I’ll fix it up and keep it for myself. It’s pretty neat
