a striking vintage statement necklace featuring a 1970s silver plated ornate pendant that captures the bold elegance of the era. the pendant is suspended from a hand-beaded chain that pairs aged silver tones with the brilliance of vintage style antique silver rhinestone beads and sparkling rhinestone rondelle beads. woven among these accents are extra large vintage japanese faux pearls in a soft antique white, their luminous finish adding a sense of timeless sophistication. following world war ii, japan became renowned for pioneering high-quality faux pearl production, blending artistry and innovation to meet global demand when natural pearls grew scarce. by the 1960s and 70s, these japanese faux pearls were celebrated for their unmatched luster and became a fixture in fine costume jewelry around the world. the piece is completed with an organic rhinestone toggle clasp in antique pewter, crafted in the u.s. with old-world detail and guaranteed lead and cadmium free.
