    I picked this up at the same store as the Trifari necklace. This was $4.99.
    I'm sure nothing like the Trifari but was hoping to get a little information on it.
    It is gold plated, 22" long three chains. Very heavy.
    They closed in the 70's so this has to be at least 50 years old.

    Very nice, Mikey.
    According to wiki, Kramer of New York ceased operations in 1980, so this was made before then. It looks 1960s to me.

    The outer chains are snake chains. And as far as I know, the links on the centre one are called square links, even if they are not perfect squares.;)

    Thanks @Any Jewelry .
    Some sites are stating they ceased operating in the 70s and others 80s. Gold plated series began in the 1950s. So 60s sounds good to me.

    Supposedly the Kramer of New York in an oval was used from 1943-1950. After 1955 a copyright symbol was added. The company started making gold plated jewelry in the 1950's. That being said, the style of this necklace does not look 1950's. I agree with Any that it looks 1960's.

    To me the style looks Greek.

    The central chain looks a bit like a Greek key (meander) motif, doesn't it.
