Product Details

Stunning vintage circa 1960s–1970s gold-tone metal mesh scarf/bib necklace featuring an exceptionally fluid articulated mesh construction that drapes beautifully around the neckline. Designed from a large triangular panel of shimmering gold-tone metal mesh, this statement piece can be arranged and gathered in different ways to create a dramatic liquid-metal scarf effect. The tiny articulated metal elements catch the light beautifully with movement. Features a snap closure clearly stamped RAU FASTENER CO. RAU was a historic Providence, Rhode Island manufacturer of snap fasteners and hardware. Similar RAU-fastened mesh scarf necklaces are associated with mid-century American mesh jewelry, including examples attributed to Whiting & Davis; however, this necklace itself is not maker-signed, so no specific jewelry manufacturer is guaranteed. Approximate measurements: • Long edge: 18” • Large triangular/scarf silhouette • Gold-tone articulated metal mesh • Snap closure marked RAU FASTENER
