help dating brass tone necklace

[persephone60]

This brass tone necklace has a long linked chain with decorative ends that have metallic fringe. I'm guessing 1930s-1940s, but I'm not sure and would love some help

The style of chain would have me saying 1980's or newer. Honestly it looks fairly contemporary to me.

I've seen that type of chain on late 60s jewelry too. What's it smell like? Yes. Smell. Brassy?

I get a late 1930's - 1940's feeling from the lariat necklace. The tassels especially look to me like they are from that period - as does the fleurs de lis ornament. I'm not sure if this is the same chain, but this piece in my collection is from the 1940's. It was a gift from the original owner. The beads are Bakelite.

Linn, the fringe and fleur de lis seemed very 1930s/1940s to me too (I have a 1930s necklace with very similar fringe, and this necklace has a very similar feel/patina to other brass tone jewelry I have from that era). It was the chain that was confusing me. Your chain is different but similar enough that I now feel a little more comfortable dating it to that era.

Cin, I don't smell very well (I have mild allergies, and am always a little stuffed up). I get a slight metallic smell when I smell the necklace.
