This exquisite double-layer turquoise thermoset teardrop choker and matching clip earrings embody refined mid-century elegance. Designed to contour the neckline with graceful dimensionality, this piece is both structured and feminine — a classic example of American couture costume jewelry at its finest.
This is not a single flat row design. The layered construction gives the necklace depth, movement, and visual richness — elevating it far beyond common thermoset collars.
