A hollow gold-tone apple with a working convex magnifying lens at center, topped with a detailed double-leaf and stem bale — practical novelty and sculptural form in one pendant. Avon produced these magnifier necklaces through the 1970s and 1980s, and the apple silhouette made them a natural teacher gift of the era. The lens is clear and functional; the pendant substantial in hand. Suspended from a twisted rope chain, signed Avon on the clasp tag.
