Description
A faceted amethyst-colored stone glows like a violet dusk sky, ringed by a halo of faux pearls and a rope-twist gold-tone frame. Made by Avon in the 1970s, it reflects the Victorian revival romance the brand was known for during that decade. A swinging chain tassel adds movement below the stone. The long double-link chain lets it fall gracefully over sweaters and dresses.
