    Hello all! Just received this auction win and would like to know a little more about it. I think it's a choker but boy if it is, the original owner's neck was very small! Measures 11.75"L. It was listed as early 1900s, does that seem accurate? I think the beads are steel but not 100% sure. Thanks as always :)

    Could be. More of a collar then a choker. Some Victorian ladies were TINY. Collar necklaces were worn directly on the neck, and some women weren't even five feet tall.

    Looks dead right to me for a Victorian beaded collar. Very nice too.

    Thanks everyone! I thought I had a relatively small neck but I have no mission of getting it closed :bucktooth::hilarious:

    Maybe add an extender chain with a bar thingy at the end?
