Constructed from 9ct gold, this pendant features an oval porcelain plaque hand-painted with a miniature portrait. The reverse of the plaque is signed by the artist.

Rose Cut Blue Sapphire Sun Pendant, Silver with Paper-Link Chain
Located in Stoke-On-Trent, GB
The glorious warm everlasting lamp of our lives, the Sun. Worshipped in many cultures, suns have various meanings to different people. When we feel lost and have an inability to see clearly, the sun never lets us down by rising and shining brightly upon the path, guiding us to what is important, back to ourselves or a new beginning. The sun reveals to us that new beginnings are born everyday, encouraging us to forgive ourselves when it set yesterday and reminds us to keep moving forward - as life on earth could not continue if the sun shut off for even a split moment. Details: - Rose Cut Light Blue Sustainable lab Sapphire (Our gemstones are sustainably created and are 100% the same chemical and physical properties as mined, just environmentally and ethically more friendly.) - Silver...

Vintage Fashion Necklaces and Other Costume Jewelry

Find a broad range of eye-catching and unique vintage fashion necklaces in the collection of fashion jewelry and watches on 1stDibs.

From understated cords to chunky designer necklaces in the Art Deco style to the vibrant collars of the 1960s — when psychedelic-prints maestro Emilio Pucci commissioned Milanese fashion jewelry house Coppola e Toppo to create dramatic designs strung with Pop art–hued plastic beads — has costume jewelry’s clever marriage of base metals and imitation gems ever gone out of style?

For lovers of fashion or costume jewelry, which is typically designed to wear with current fashions and made of inexpensive materials, there has been no shortage of extraordinary necklace designs over the years from brands such as Trifari, Miriam Haskell and others.

In the 1980s, designers like Yves Saint Laurent looked to the flashy wartime-era fashion jewelry of the 1940s for inspiration when creating his statement-making necklaces of glass and rhinestones (the latter have defined glamour since as far back as the 13th century). Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel introduced her costume jewels in the 1920s, when the economy was roaring and fine jewelry was the main mode of adornment among her clients. Today, vintage Chanel necklaces from the brand’s fashion jewelry lines — glass and faux-pearl designs as well as gold pendant necklaces — are particularly popular.

On 1stDibs, find vintage drop necklaces, beaded necklaces and other costume jewelry today.
