Renaissance Revival cameo pendant necklace from the 1960s.

In the late 50s and 60s, there was a major new interest in Victorian and Renaissance jewelry. Using design trends from these time periods in the early second half of the century was quite popular. This style of jewelry was called the Renaissance Revival.

This cameo pendant necklace is a classic example of the Renaissance Revival style.

The main focus of the pendant is a gray lady cameo who’s profile is facing left and is
surrounded by gold metal filigree which are decorated with faux white pearls and black rhinestones.

Pearls and rhinestones are in excellent condition. The large black rhinestones are prong set and the smaller black rhinestones are set in to gold cup rhinestone holders.

Cameo hangs from a heart Charm with a Renaissance design and attaches the chain.

Surrounding the heart and attaching the chain are two faux white faux pearls and Renaissance style golds to create further decoration.

From the design and quality of materials used, this necklace is an unsigned designer costume jewelry piece and mostly likely Florenza.
