Description: Part of Avon's collectible Frost Lights line, this pendant centers a softly carved pink camphor glass panel — its starburst rays fanning outward from a single sparkling clear rhinestone — set within an ornate gold-tone octagonal frame trimmed with beaded detailing and scrollwork bail. Camphor glass, with its milky translucence and frosted surface, was a hallmark of Edwardian jewelry later revived by mid-century designers for its quiet, otherworldly glow. The pendant sits at a flattering length on a delicate rope chain. A well-loved collectible in wearable condition.

A pink rose floats against a sky-blue enamel ground, its petals rendered with a confident, unhurried hand — the kind of detail that asks to be looked at closely. The surface has the iridescent, patterned quality of guilloche enamel, where fine engraving beneath translucent enamel creates a subtle shimmer that shifts with the light. The gold-tone frame is ornate and deliberate: scalloped lower edge, scrollwork upper bail with a decorative loop — the whole composition echoing the Victorian tradition of miniature portrait pendants. Unsigned and quietly lovely.
