Old Hollywood necklace

This stunning necklace for Temps Perdu collection is giving strong old Hollywood vibes.

A crystal studded vintage (approx. 1950s) brooch had lost its needle and some stones were missing. I attached new Austrian crystal chaton stones to replace the lost ones and and since in all other ways the brooch was in fantastic condition, I used it for the pendant of this necklace. 

The pearls are also approximately 1950s-60s vintage, they come salvaged from a broken neckace. I carefully examined and wiped each pearl with a microfiblre cloth and a soft, beautiful chalk/bone white colour tone was revealed. Not cool white, not cream either, but something else lovely. These coated glass pearls are strung with tiny vintage silver foil glass seed beads and adorned with a steel clasp and vintage metal chain for adjusting the length of the necklace.

Size of pendant approx. 40 x 45mm. Size of pearls varies between 5mm and 8mm.

Length of the necklace is adjustable, 43cm + 10cm extension for versatility. 

Please handle this piece with gentle care, so that when you are not wearing it, keep it safe in its pouch and separate from other jewellery to avoid scratching. Also avoid spraying perfume of hairspray on it. See more jewellery care instructions here!
