This is a lovely, elegant necklace from the late 1960s. This necklace belonged to my mother, who was the only owner.
It has been stored away, unworn, for many decades. I have attached a photo of mom wearing the necklace on in 1963.
The clasp has a small diamond on it, completing the entire look of the pendant. It is beautifully made.
