This necklace is a bright plated gold. The textured cable chain measures a long 50 inches and holds a 3. 5 inch, ridiculous multi bead pendant. The pendant consists of a large 1 inch multi rhinestoned ball, dropped from a small rhinestoned ball, hanging from a 1 inch faux pearl. ( The history of faux pearls made at this time is interesting. Please read more in our FAQ section. ) All have great gold toppers on them. It has a nice weight to it and not too heavy. The chain is so long it should be doubled over itself.

There are no makers marks on this necklace, but is similar to the Monet and Napier styles manufactured during this time.

NecromanceNola sells this type of vintage necklace often since it was well made, usually plated multiple times and had unique design. The bright gold tone plating is still in excellent condition.

This metal necklace is circa 1960 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time. The first half of the 20th century was the heyday for well made costume jewelry sold from fine department stores to Woolworth, usually made in Europe or the United States. The manufacture and quality of costume jewelry deteriorated in the latter part of the century making this era the last with enduring products.
