Necklaces

McClelland Barclay necklaces were made by Rice-Weiner & Co. of Providence, RI between 1938 - 1943 and are highly collectible. 

Stunning statement neclace that started it all: This gold plated choker necklace sparkles with gold and green rhinestones.  This is one influential necklace! It was worn by famed singer, Jo Stafford. The red version of this necklace was the one that caught my eye and started my years-long research into McClelland Barclay's costume jewellery. Many discoveries later...I wrote the first-ever illustrated biography of this artist: McClelland Barclay: Painter of Beautiful Women and More.

The jewellery chapter in my book includes new revelations about the maker.

Different looks: In this vintage necklace collection, find Art Deco designs with flora and fauna motifs in sterling silver. Art Moderne styles have a very different look. Many of these vintage necklace designs have complimentary bracelets, brooches, earrings and rings.
