Vintage Amber Glass Teardrop Pendant Necklace

Description
A faceted amber glass teardrop sits in a rope-edged setting at the center of a polished gold-tone disc, like a drop of resin caught on a small sun. A 1970s piece, from the decade that favored warm topaz tones and bold medallion pendants. The disc hangs from a curved bar on a flat curb chain, with a fine extender to change the length. Warm and substantial, it sits easily over a high neckline or against bare skin.

Gold-tone metal, glass
