Vintage Brass Open Frame Pendant Necklace Red Glass Drops Floral Bar Link Chain

Description
A 1970s Art Nouveau revival necklace built around an open oval frame of stamped brass, wreathed in leaves, blossoms, and curling ribbon. A faceted red glass briolette hangs below, and two smooth red teardrops swing along the chain like drops of pomegranate juice. The chain is made of bar links, each stamped with a small flower and joined by rings. The empty frame leaves skin visible through its center, so it reads light and airy at the collarbone.

Materials
Brass, red glass
