1950s green choker

November 8th, 2012

Jewellery is an important part to accessorising any outfit. And you must know by now that the GDO girls loooooove their vintage jewellery!

Here’s one of our recent pieces – a 1950s choker with five beautifully emerald green stones that could very well be chrysoprase gemstones.

What we’re sure of is that we love its intense green. The stones also resemble jade, which we love, and have a nice heaviness to it.

We wish we were gemologists!

The churning of all yellow, blue, green
Colors sacrifice their egos
To the eternal white.”
