Deceased - Albert Desalvo Boston Strangler handmade gold necklace and pendant with brown goldstone no.9 from walpole prison late 1960’s

Very early and rare handcrafted jewellery Goldstone Italy Brown stone by Albert Desalvo he called this necklace the choker.

One of a kind piece as he never used the same type of stones or same size and shaped stones! 

Part of the very first lot of 10 pieces of jewelry he ever made! 

It’s a very rare and early example of the very few pieces he ever made before being murdered while he was incarcerated. In the original box and with the original label made by him at the time. A beautiful true crime collectible related to a great notorious vintage crime case.

Albert Henry DeSalvo (September 3, 1931 – November 25, 1973) was a criminal in Boston Massachusetts who confessed to being the Boston Strangler, the murderer of 13 women in the Boston area from 1962 to 1964. DeSalvo was imprisoned, however, for a series of rapes. His murder confession has been disputed, and debate continues as to which crimes he actually committed.

For years it was de acted by many that he was and wasn’t the Boston Strangler.

In July 2013, DNA was matched between seminal fluid found at the rape and murder of Mary Sullivan and DNA obtained from DeSalvo's nephew, linking DeSalvo to the murder of Sullivan and excluding 99.9% of the remaining population.  Authorities exhumed DeSalvo's remains later that month and confirmed the DNA match.
