This reproduction of Jackie Kennedy's legendary faux-pearl necklace carries 158 handpainted, European glass pearls on hand-knotted silken cords. Rhodium-plated art deco clasp with 14 Austrian crystals. Elegant presentation case. Certificate of authenticity. Made in the USA.
17"l. - 20"l.
Museum Provenance
So extraordinary, the world still knows her by her first name. So stylish, her fashion choices—oversized sunglasses, glass pearls, statement jewelry, a simple tank watch—are as on-trend today as in the heyday of Camelot. Many of Jackie’s personal items, including gowns and her signature faux pearls, are part of The First Ladies, an exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
They looked MA-VELOUS on my wife at Easter Services and will surely generate many coimpliments when she presides over the Federaton of Woman's Exchange in Greenwich, CT next month.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
This necklace, although of good quality and workmanship and beauty of the pearls, is not as much of a choker necklace as Jackie Kennedy's was. In the display box, all three strands line up perfectly below each other, but on the body the first strand is farther from the other two than the second and third are from each other, so the necklace looks uneven. It is also too long to be a reproduction of Jackie's necklace. Regretfully, I am considering returning it I would recommend it if it looked more as I saw it in a photo of Jackie wearing it, which you do not include in your adviertising.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
The actual color of this necklace is gray-colored, not creme colored as pictured online or in the catalogs. The customer service was very helpful & even went to the warehouse to see if the one sent to me was simply an oversight. She found that all of the necklaces in the warehouse were gray in overtone. She was very professional, allowed me to return, & gave me reimbursement.

I were them a lot. They go with everything from casual to dressy. I just wish I would have bought them when they were on sale.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
Jewelry isn't really my thing, but this necklace does impress. The clasp assembly seems well constructed with attractive jewels on it - good design in my opinion. I gave this as a gift for my wife (something she was extremely delighted to receive). It looks quite exquisite on her. She let one of her lady friends wear it, and that woman had an instant look of elegance. This necklace just produces a timeless look that makes any woman wearing it glow. It is an excellent gift idea for those guys out there who can't spend thousands on their girl for the real thing but still would like to get her something real nice.

Both the catalog and website show this necklace as having a gorgeous ivory hue, I was devastated when it arrived and looked closer to Honda's polished metal metallic automotive paint. It was a good thing it arrived quickly so I could get my wife something else for Christmas.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
I gave these to my wife for the first birthday after she'd survived major surgery and cancer treatments. They (The pearls) have always been something she's wanted; my hope now - she gets to use them every place she'd imagined herself going in them.

I have watched this necklace since it came out a number of years ago. I couldn't resist when it was reduced. It is lovely.
