I believe it was over 15 years ago that I purchased this bohemian-style choker at Grace Continental. I wore it a few times back then, but there are no noticeable scratches or stains. However, the beaded chain part has darkened due to age. The large turquoise in the center is about 2cm long, and the feathers are each about 8cm long. The length of the cord is approximately 38cm from the base of the clasp to the base of the clasp.
