Vintage Blue Heart Rhinestone Halo Pendant Necklace, Clear Crystal Cluster, Gold Tone, c. 1970s–80s

A vivid blue heart rhinestone sits at the center of a starburst halo of clear prong-set crystals, small, precise, and brighter than its size suggests. The combination of a colored heart stone with a clear diamond-like surround was a popular format in the 1970s and 1980s, echoing the look of fine sapphire cluster jewelry at a fraction of the cost. A small maker's mark is present on the reverse but partially illegible, worth examining under magnification before listing.

Materials Gold-tone base metal pendant; blue and clear rhinestones; dark silver-tone curb chain (possible replacement)
