This necklace perfectly exemplifies the early 1970s \"Retro Revival\" trend. It masterfully re-engineers a classic, slinky 1950s double-strand flat snake chain by anchoring it to a bold, oversized geometric equestrian horsebit focal centerpiece. This exact structural horsebit mold remained a foundational heritage motif for the house of Dior, famously reappearing in their collections well into the 1980s and 1990s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eHallmarks \u0026amp; Authenticity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe reverse of the focal link features the authentic, original raised oval cartouche stamp reading: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\"© 19 Grossé 71 Germany\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e.
