A spectacular and highly collectible vintage Todd Oldham choker necklace, created as a Fall 1996 runway sample. This extraordinary piece reflects Oldham’s theatrical, artful approach to 1990s fashion, combining vintage inspiration with bold runway drama.
The necklace was created using vintage jewelry molds from the 1950s, reportedly discovered at a flea market and later reconstructed into entirely new forms. The result is a richly dimensional, one-of-a-kind composition featuring ornate molded elements, dangling medallions, and lavish crystal embellishment. Each section is covered in sparkling Swarovski crystals in saturated jewel tones.
Ebonized detailing throughout gives the necklace depth and contrast, enhancing the antique-gold metalwork and creating a darkly romantic, almost baroque quality. The central medallion is especially striking, with an openwork floral-inspired design set with brilliant red and pale blue crystals, suspended from a choker-style chain of multicolored crystal-set links.
Measuring approximately 15 inches in length, this piece sits close to the neck as a dramatic choker. The center medallion measures approximately 2.0 x 2.0 inches, giving the necklace a strong focal point while still allowing the full jeweled composition to frame the neckline beautifully.
A rare and unique Todd Oldham runway sample.
