Pink Gemstone and SS leather rope choker

I believe this is a pink Padparadscha Sapphire(that is what it was sold as at a gem show where my mother purchased it a LONG time ago, I have not had it tested), could be a KUNZITE*, SS (stamped), and leather rope choker. Measures 13X1. Toggle clasp has the pink gemstone points. Still has manufacturers tag on it, embossed "Melamun". This was purchased at a gem show in the 1990's. Never worn.
