Unique vintage costume necklace signed, with beads and red crystal pendant

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This vintage costume necklace features an original and elaborate design, typical of unique creations. The central piece is a large, faceted, round pendant with a dark red crystal appearance, suspended below a succession of spherical pearls with iridescent reflections. The pearls, uniformly spaced, are mounted on a clear, likely metallic, wire and form the main part of the jewel. The ensemble is distinguished by its assertive style, at the crossroads of retro and contemporary, with a touch of organic inspiration visible in the branched structure ending in several small pearls, evoking a plant or molecular motif.

The lobster clasp is complemented by an adjustment chain and a round metallic disc, on which a signature is visible but not legible in the photo. This detail attests to a signed creation, reinforcing the unique character of the piece.

The combination of iridescent pearls and the faceted red pendant gives the necklace an elegant contrast, enhanced by the brilliance of the visible metallic elements. The suspended motif extends the visual effect by providing movement and a singular aesthetic, ideal for a sophisticated or quirky look.

The necklace's mounting, both delicate and structured, enhances the quality of its craftsmanship. The pearls appear regular and well-finished, while the central pendant catches the light with its multiple facets. The ensemble, displayed on a Baroque-inspired piece of furniture, evokes a retro-chic spirit, while remaining resolutely modern.

The visible side shows no apparent defects: no chips or noticeable scratches on the pearls or the pendant. The chain and clasp also appear to be in good condition.

Condition
This necklace is pre-owned and sold as is, as seen in the photo.
