    Hello All.
    I have acquired this fabulous choker necklace .
    It's a stunning turquoise colour.
    Decorated with carved cameos.
    There are a few questions I have about this and wondering if anyone can help me.
    What age is the necklace ?
    Is it real turquoise ?
    I don't know why my photos come out side ways . Sorry
    Any help would be greatly appreciated .
    Thank you

    I would guess blue glass.
    Have you tested the pearls? Are there any maker marks? (In this last photo, there appears to be wear/flaking to the metal at the connectors, but I can't be sure.)

    Agree with @Flashback they look like moulded glass, still very nice though. I would expect it is early 20th century. Nice find.

    Thank you .
    I tested the pearls on my teeth that's the only way I know.
    Cannot see any makers mark.
    Thank you very much for your help .

    The findings certainly look 20th century. Victorian Revival, I would think. Like this one.

    1950s is my guess, from the metal.

    Yes, that's what I think as well.

    I'd have said forties into fifties.

    Agree with mid-20th century molded (NOT carved) glass.

    I suspect the glass plaques are Czech.
