The first necklace, on the left of the image, stands out with a light-colored twisted cord supporting a large, original pendant. This pendant combines several elements: a gold-colored metallic ring, a large translucent faceted bead with green reflections, several small gray mother-of-pearl-like beads, and two long translucent brown oblong beads that complete the ensemble. The combination of these shapes and colors evokes a costume creation from the 70s-80s, with a free and eclectic aesthetic, characteristic of original retro accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second necklace, located on the right of the photo, is composed of a twisted chain with a gold finish. It features a pendant made of three intense blue round beads, separated by thin gold rings, and ends with a small gold metal motif forming the letters \"OFL\". The ensemble presents a striking contrast between the gold chain and the blue beads, for an elegant and graphic look. The dangling letters add a personalized or branded touch, in the spirit of personalized costume jewelry from past decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth necklaces show work on color and texture associations: the interplay between translucent, opaque, shiny, and matte contributes to the originality of each piece. The chains and cords are clearly visible, and the decorative elements are securely attached. No designer or manufacturer markings are legible on the surfaces exposed in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pieces of jewelry are pre-owned, with slight visible signs of use: some micro-scratches and wear marks on the gold-plated parts, and small irregularities on the beads, typical of an old vintage accessory.
