Shop for vintage treasures in the New Year!
This vintage S.A.L. Swarovski heavy gold tone chain choker necklace features a center octagon, clear crystal. The two sides that connect the crystal to the chain have a bar of clear baguette rhinestones. This classic Swarovski design is very elegant looking; it goes from office to date night with pizzazz!
Measurements: The 16.5 inch (42 cm) choker length necklace has a heavy gold tone snake chain (1/4 inch wide) with a rigid, curved center design that is 1.5 inches across its top ends.
Condition: Please review all photographs of this excellent vintage condition necklace, as they are an important part of the description. The center crystal looks great; there is very minor scuffing to the metal surfaces and some metal wear on the clasp.
Marks: It is is stamped "S.A.L.©" on the bar near the clasp.
In 1862, Austrian Daniel Swarovski founded the Swarovski Company and in 1892 developed a new technique for faceting glass crystals. Swarovski was a huge supplier of Austrian rhinestones and crystals to American jewelry manufacturers. Daniel Swarovski and Christian Dior (no wonder their jewelry looks so similar!) developed the iridescent Aurora Borealis stone in 1955. In 1977, the Swarovski American, Ltd. company (S.A.L. hallmark) started producing their own costume jewelry, switching to the Swan Logo from 1989 to present.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: If your country is not among those I ordinarily ship to, please text me with your information. Typically, if I can insure it, I will ship it!

Return Policy
You may initiate a return of this item within 3 days of delivery. More DetailsShipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
Shipping and insurance charges vary with the weight of the item, its destination and the type of shipping used. The vast majority of my packages are shipped via USPS Ground Advantage; but Priority is always an option for an additional fee. WE COMBINE SHIPPING FOR PURCHASES - typically $1.00 is added for each additional jewelry item, based on the highest item. For non jewelry items, weight and package size determines final shipping charge. I adjust combined shipping manually, so please wait for a revised invoice before paying. Orders are carefully packed and typically shipped within one business day. IN THE RARE CASE OF SHIPPING LOSS OR DAMAGE, YOU MUST COOPERATE WITH INSURANCE CLAIM PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFUND, PER RUBY LANE AND INSURER POLICIES. I pay return postage only if the item has been inadvertently misrepresented beyond normal "vintage" wear. FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS ONLY: I am a traveler and love my international customers! We may be unable to complete purchase orders, however, to locations where insurance is unavailable and/or the shipping address cannot be confirmed. In either of those cases, you assume the risk of damage and/or loss. In fifteen years, I have had three international orders not delivered. Please keep in mind that delivery time frames are out of my control. Priority rate shipping is expensive but can shorten delivery time by weeks. The postal rate for International First Class packages is the same price up to eight ounces, so three or even four small jewelry items may ship for the same cost as one item. Over 8 ounces, the increased price stays the same up to 32 ounces! Ask me for an estimate. For insurance (and US law) reasons, I must use the actual dollar amount of the purchase on the customs form; any duty or other home country charges are your responsibility. IF YOU USE A USA SHIPPING SERVICE or a THIRD PARTY SHIPPER: The shipper's address MUST be shown on your PayPal account. My insurance and return policy covers delivery or damage to your shipper only. In the event of non-delivery, your shipper MUST comply with my insurance provider's requests for documentation. Once the package is delivered to your Third Party Shipper or Service, there is NO refund or insurance available through me for any reason because the package has left my control (both in terms of damage or delivery).Layaway Policy
