{"product_id":"vintage-80","title":"Vintage Gold Tone Festoon Necklace with Faux Pearls — 1970s–1980s Double Swag Bar Pendant Necklace","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTwo textured gold tone bars arc gently downward in a double swag, meeting at the center and suspending three faux pearls from cup settings along the lower edge — one at each end of the inner bar and one larger pearl hanging from the center point. The bars are finished with a fine crosshatch texture across their entire surface, which keeps the gold from reading as plain stamped metal and gives the pendant a handmade quality at close range. The pearls are round and lustrous with a warm cream tone, graduated very slightly so the center pearl reads as the focal point without the difference being dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe festoon or swag necklace is a format with roots in Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, where draped metalwork suspending pearls or stones was a standard for formal dress. This version translates that sensibility into costume jewelry scaled for everyday wear — the pendant is modest in size, the cable chain is fine, and the whole piece sits close to the collarbone rather than making a statement. It works as well with a casual neckline as with something more formal, which likely accounts for how many versions of this basic arrangement were produced through the 1970s and 1980s. Spring ring clasp. Unsigned and in great condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGold tone base metal; faux pearl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaker: Unsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStyle \/ design notes: Double swag bar pendant with crosshatch texture; three faux pearls in cup settings, center pearl slightly larger; fine cable chain; spring ring clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStone or material notes: Faux pearl, cream\/white tone, round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eColor: Warm yellow gold tone with cream pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition, please see images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChain 9 in long when clasped; pendant approx. 2 in wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollected by\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMineral and Matter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral and Matter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48959084560619,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/9569\/files\/PearlSwoop_3.png?v=1783027757","url":"https:\/\/mineralandmatter.com\/products\/vintage-80","provider":"Mineral and Matter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
