Vintage Gold Tone Intaglio Glass Heart Pendant Necklace with Iridescent Rose

Description
A frosted glass heart holds a single rose in bud, carved from behind so it seems to float inside the glass. An aurora borealis finish gives it shimmering flashes of pink, blue, and gold. Made in the 1980s, the pendant has a scalloped faceted border that catches the light along the edge, and it hangs from a fluted gold-tone bail. A fine, faceted gold-tone chain rounds out a romantic, feminine piece that’s lovely layered or worn on its own.
