This vintage pearl necklace is a classic 1960s "Lacy Scallop" fringe necklace, a style that was highly popular for its feminine, romantic silhouette.
Lacy Architectural Chain: Unlike standard pearl strands, this necklace features a scalloped gold-tone "lace" framework. This "openwork" or lacy filigree design is a hallmark of Victorian Revival jewelry, which saw a major comeback in the mid-20th century.
Articulated Draping: The necklace is "articulated," meaning it is constructed of multiple moving segments. This allows the "fringe" of pearls to drape naturally against the collarbone, creating a "bib" or "collar" effect that sits closer to the neck than a standard chain.
