Vintage Napier Faux Pearl and Gold Tone Woven Chain Necklace

Description
A row of small faux pearls is woven between two fine gold serpentine chains, which cross over each pearl like a delicate lattice catching light. This signed Napier piece dates to the 1980s, when the house was known for pairing classic pearls with polished gold-tone chain. It drapes softly and keeps the pearls in a neat, even line. At 24", it sits just below the collarbone, so it works on its own or layered with a pendant.

Materials
Gold-tone metal, faux pearls
