Overview
A dramatic mid-to-late 20th-century costume statement necklace featuring multi-strand gold-tone curb chains paired with satin-finish fluted beads, glass faux pearls, and robin's egg blue faux-turquoise accents. The centerpiece features a textured leaf motif suspending a cascading fringe tassel tipped with matching beads.
Story
Mid-century runway fashion loved the drama of tassels and mixed beads. This necklace blends Etruscan-revival gold textures with playful faux turquoise and pearls, capturing the bold bohemian elegance of late 1960s cocktail attire.
Maker / Origin
While unsigned examples were widely produced by costume jewelry houses like Napier, Trifari, Monet, and Park Lane, the high-texture satin beads and tassel construction echo the popular cocktail jewelry lines of mid-century fashion brands.
Condition & Value
Appears to be in very good vintage condition with bright plating, intact tassel strands, and clean pearl coatings without obvious peeling. Excellent preservation keeps value toward the top of the range.
