Vintage Gold Tone Triple Strand Swag Necklace with Rhinestone Stations

Description
Three fine gold chains fall in graduated arcs below a pair of rhinestone stations, like moonlight on water. The necklace dates to the 1980s, and its draped, layered shape gives the look of several necklaces in a single piece. Each station holds two rows of prong-set clear rhinestones that add a little sparkle at the collarbone. The faceted chain catches light with every movement and lies smooth against the skin, so it works for evening and also adds a polished touch during the day.

Materials
Gold-tone metal, clear rhinestones
